Dr. Mark Seeley: Weather Impacts on Significant Historical Events


Adults / Lifelong Learning -
2024 Fall

Weather impacts have been very significant in altering historical events such as General Washington's campaigns in the Revolutionary War, Napoleon's retreat from Russia in 1812, the tornadic destruction of Sauk Rapids, MN in 1886, and the British retreat from Dunkirk in WWII, and the deployment of the National Weather Service in MN following the Armistice Day Blizzard of 1940. These and other examples will be described and discussed.

Dr. Mark Seeley retired in 2018 after nearly 40 years as Extension Climatologist and Meteorologist at the University of MN. He provides weekly weather commentary on MN Public Radio’s Morning Edition, produces documentaries for Twin Cities Public Television (TPT) and is the author of Minnesota Weather Almanac. He continues to provide presentations on climate change and its effects on the state’s infrastructure and natural resources.
