Climate change and California’s mountain snow pack—how much will we lose?

03-31-16 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Clubhouse, 610 West 18th Street, Costa Mesa
Address: UC Irvine, Donald Bren Hall 6011

Water UCI will welcome Dr. Daniel R. Cayan a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Historically, mountain snowpack has provided a crucially important fraction of California’s water supply, but with projected climate warming in future decades, it is likely that the snow pack will diminish. This talk will describe the diminishing odds of achieving spring snow water volume that meets or exceeds median historical levels, and the increasing likelihood of extremely low snow water amounts.
