Climate Change And The Rio Grande

March 11, 2016 – Journalist Laura Paskus is closely following the impact of climate change on New Mexico in her ongoing series “New Mexico’s Changing Climate” for our media partner New Mexico in Depth. Earlier this year, she examined the research available right now that shows the Rio Grande River might someday be in a condition of “permanent drought.”

This week, Laura Paskus sits down with our producer Sarah Gustavus to talk about the past and future of the Rio Grande and what’s at stake if the river goes dry in some parts of New Mexico.
