California Natural Resources Agency to Host Climate Science Discussion on November 9
The California Natural Resources Agency announced on November 6 that its Secretary Speaker Series will host an online discussion, "Science Under Pressure: What's at Stake for California?", on Monday, November 9, from noon to 1 p.m., with registration open to the public.
As climate threats intensify, the agency said, California relies on science to protect communities, safeguard water supplies and prepare for new risks. The discussion will explore what happens when the science guiding California's future is itself under threat, including the latest findings from California's Fifth Climate Change Assessment, evolving El Niño conditions, how federal funding cuts are threatening critical research, and how California is advancing climate science and preparedness.
Speakers include Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot; Dr. Andrew Jones, Science Advisor to the Secretary; Ranyee Chiang, Western States Program Director at the Union of Concerned Scientists; Elea Becker Lowe, Climate Assessment Program Manager and Coordinating Lead Author for California's Fifth Climate Change Assessment; and Dr. F. Martin Ralph, a meteorologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Director of the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes.
