Anticipating the extremes: Birch Aquarium lecture looks at atmospheric rivers and California s climate

Print The first of three virtual “Perspectives on Ocean Science” lectures presented by Birch Aquarium in La Jolla focused on atmospheric rivers and the impact they may have on California’s climate. Meteorologist Alexander Gershunov discussed “The Art and Science of Atmospheric Rivers and the Changing Hydroclimate of the West” on Feb. 8. He said he studies “how regional weather patterns and extreme weather events are related to climate change and how to use those relationships to predict weather and climate better” and that he is also interested in the effects of extreme weather on society. An atmospheric river is a “filament of very moist and windy conditions that is longer than it is wide,” Gershunov said.

Scripps Oceanography gets share of California Energy Commission contract to simulate climate change

Scripps Oceanography gets share of California Energy Commission contract to simulate climate change This figure shows projected changes in California’s average hottest day of the year by the end of this century (2070-2100) produced by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. (Courtesy) Print The California Energy Commission has awarded a $1.5 million contract to three University of California campuses, including UC San Diego, that will work in tandem to better simulate climate change scenarios that can be used by utilities and others to anticipate the effects. The contract, split among UCLA, UC Berkeley and UCSD’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, will be used to “provide what are called downscaled climate simulations over the state of California,” said Dan Cayan, a climate scientist at SIO and principal investigator for the project.

Confronting Cascading Disasters, Building Resilience: Lessons from the Indian Sundarbans

The intersecting impacts of COVID-19 and climate change are compounding the vulnerabilities of coastal communities. This paper examines the disastrous effects of cyclone Amphan in the Bengal delta region of the Indian Sundarbans amidst a countrywide lockdown triggered by the pandemic, and their cascading consequences for a rural community inhabiting this climate hotspot. It highlights the livelihood crisis experienced by internal rural-urban migrant workers who returned to their villages in the Sundarbans from other Indian states under challenging conditions. Triangulating data from interviews with return migrants, literature, and policy documents, the paper argues for a move beyond the traditional short-term, relief-based responses. It proposes integrating a rural community’s long-term economic recovery and self-reliance as a pillar of policy dialogues on climate change and mobility at national and regional scales.

things up and other people get pulled into it, and then you re looking at real genuine disaster there have been terror-let cascading disasters before. that s the thing that has happened. but the thing that pushes back on that on the flip side is almost all of these things are really bad for both the u.s. and china. but so are physical wars. often, almost always. but most of the time we avoid going to physical war. most of the time the two countries have a strong incentive to avoid a war. it doesn t work perfectly, but it works most of the time. similarly here, the one thing that is holding this together is an all-out trade war can be really bad for both the u.s. and china. china is probably in a worse position than us to manage it economically. the flip side it s not a democracy, so they have more flexibility to put the public through pain. not total flexibility. they still care about public opinion. i think the president s theory is i m going to push harder and harder and harder
