We always wish our climate projections were not correct. But the latest storm to hit the Bay Area showed the climate change is hard at work making AR/ETC’s more intense.

Watch renowned climate scientist @MichaelFWehner talk about the Bay Area’s current AR/ETC storm, and the work we did with Michael that sadly is correct. These storms are already larger due to climate change. And it will get worse. #AtmosphericRiver

The rain fall all day, but having the heaviest rain fall in such a short time really exacerbates the flooding. Listen to the interview! #BombCyclone

After all of the atmospheric rivers in the Bay Area, the shallow groundwater table is likely at an all time high. This really is a big component of adaptation we need to take into account!

This is my favorite piece (that I am in) from @ezraromero so far!

Her neighbors used to joke ruefully about being in a flood zone. “Now I think the conversations are starting to take a more serious turn,” she said. “It’s not something people are chuckling about any more.” sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

We need to consider sea level rise, extreme storms, and rising groundwater! Listen to Your Call Radio’s recent piece on their One Planet series with myself and Co-PI Ellen Plane SFEI - ASC. #climatecrisis kalw.org/show/your-call…

Tune in today at 9 am PT and listen to Dr. Kris May, @ezraromero, and SFBay Conservation & Development Commission (BCDC) discuss how the Bay Area is getting ready for climate change and the challenges we face as sea levels and the groundwater table rise. #ClimateCrisis kqed.org/forum/20101018…

I was blessed with an opportunity to talk about my work on KQED Forum this morning!

We are in the midst of another bomb cyclone in the Bay Area. Stay safe! #BombCyclone #atmosphericriver #AR #ETC washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/0…

I spent the past week with the greatest Climate minds in the country. I’m energized and optimistic, but I oscillate between geeking out on how much more intense and frequent future storms will be, and acute fear of what is coming. #ClimateCrisis theguardian.com/environment/20…

Our future extreme precipitation study with @MichaelFWehner and Berkeley Lab has been released! No City is ready for the future that climate change is bringing. #climate
