Climate Extremes at 1.5°C vs 2°C Global Warming:
The IPCC SR15 Report and Underlying Evidence

In this presentation I will provide an overview on changes in climate extremes at 1.5°C vs 2°C global warming, as assessed in the recent IPCC special report on 1.5°C global warming. In particular, I will address the differences in climate extremes that...

Drivers of Change in Estuarine-Coastal Ecosystems: Discoveries from Five Decades of Study in San Francisco Bay

Observations made in San Francisco Bay over the past half century illustrate ecosystem responses to six common drivers of change where land and sea meet: river damming, water management, introduction of nonnative species, sewage input, environmental policies, and multidecadal climate shifts....
