Closing Costs

iSeeChange

In the summer of 2017, New Orleans had two big floods. For some residents, it was three. Maybe you brought out your canoe. Maybe you lost your car. Maybe you stood in knee deep water, inside.

There are lots of feelings about those weather events, and the infrastructure we rely on when it rains nine inches in three hours. That's why ISeeChange teamed up with BYO and The Trust for Public Land to bring you:

ISeeChange: Water Vision

iSeeChange is a public radio series that fosters conversations between citizens and scientists about how  weather and climate extremes affected daily life in Western Colorado during 2012, a year that scientists call our closest analog to future climate change. Using a crowdsourced "reverse" reporting style, KVNF listeners submitted questions about environmental change to iSeeChange for scientists to answer. This approach resulted in prescient observations and stories about the earliest spring in recorded history, the epic Colorado wildfire season, drought, and West Nile virus epidemics months before they became mainstream news. iSeeChange is produced by Julia Kumari Drapkin in Western Colorado at KVNF Mountain Grown Community Radio as a part of Localore, a nationwide production of AIR with principal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Series broadcast on KVNF: June 25, 2013
