Climate change is significantly affecting the snowpack in the western U.S., a critical part of the region's water resources. If current trends continue, the amount of water available from snow could be reduced by 25% by the year 2050.

Dr. Erica Siirila-Woodburn, research scientist in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will discuss recent research that could help guide state and federal actions to strengthen the resilience of the region’s water resources.

This event is co-sponsored with the College of Arts and Sciences.
