Anya Zilberstein, Concordia University: 

"Cold Comfort: The Benefits of Climate Change in Early North America" 

The perceived suitability of a region for cultivation and commerce
influenced settlement patterns in the colonial era and into the 19th
century. Join us to learn how early scientific climate studies and natural
histories influenced the development of New England and Nova Scotia
throughout this period.
