A collaborative effort between Vermont Institute of Science and Professor Cathleen Geiger, a geoscientist at the University of Delaware, who resides in West Hartford, VT, this film profiles Tropical Storm Irene and its impact on Vermont. The film demonstrates how Irene was both major environmental event and a major life event for Vermonters, and in doing so, offers a “teachable moment” for explaining the science of extreme weather events.
