California is in a drought again. Is this normal? How do our infrastructure systems handle it? How much energy does it take? What will the future bring? We discussed all this and more in last week's #MiddayScienceCafe. If you missed it, here is the video. youtube.com/watch?v=m7iXK2…

What are the impacts of #climatechange on our water and #energy systems?🌊⚡️ Researchers at Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara have developed a science-based analytic framework to evaluate complex connections between water and energy. More➡️ bit.ly/3j9ixYS

NEW REPORT BRIEFING: 9/28 at 11am PT  Join Pacific Institute’s @_HeatherCooley, PeterGleick(closed) & Julia Szinai for a briefing on #water & #energy use, & #GHG emission impacts in #California. Register: ow.ly/843c50GeR4L Next 10  Read the report: bit.ly/3hiPzWZ

Water and energy are inextricably linked in California -- as one resource faces constraints or challenges, so does the other. Learn more: bit.ly/3nn1ZAU Julia Szinai @sonaliabraham @_HeatherCooley PeterGleick(closed) Next 10 #CAwater #water #energy #ClimateCrisis

Very proud to share a Nature review paper I co-lead with ⁦Alan Rhoades⁩ on a low-to-no snow future in the western US and it’s impacts on water resources, ❄️🔜💧 out today! ⁦Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈⁩ ⁦Earth and Environmental Sciences at Berkeley Lab⁩ ⁦Berkeley Lab⁩ nature.com/articles/s4301…

Reductions in seasonal snowpacks could have catastrophic consequences on #water resources In this Review, Dr. Erica Siirila-Woodburn et al discuss the impacts of a low-to-no #snow future on water resources in the western United States nature.com/articles/s4301… Free: rdcu.be/cz6sm

A new study from ERG’s Andy Jones and Julia Szinai at the Berkeley Lab considers how dwindling mountain snowpacks will implicate water management. Read more here: newscenter.lbl.gov/2021/10/26/man…

Attn #Bellingham: My co-worker, John Romankiewicz has been reported missing by his partner. He disappeared sometime Monday, roughly in the York Neighborhood. John is a tall, thin, white guy with blue eyes. If you have any info about him, pls contact #Bellingham PD. #prayers

#Water and #energy systems are closely linked. “The Future of California’s Water-Energy-Climate Nexus” presents robust policy recommendations to strengthen California’s commitment to #climate goals while ensuring #sustainable #water management: bit.ly/3C6jXet #Goal6

Water and #energy systems are closely linked. Urban conservation and efficiency can help us to meet #water goals as well as energy and #climate goals. Read the report: bit.ly/3C6jXet Julia Szinai @sonaliabraham @_HeatherCooley PeterGleick(closed) Next 10 #ActNow

Our latest newsletter is out! In this issue, we highlight HyperFACETS researcher Julia Szinai and summarize our accepted MSD sections at #agu2023 and upcoming working group events. multisectordynamics.org/newsletters/

Please consider submitting an abstract to this exciting AGU session, abstracts due Aug. 2!

Check out our new paper, modeling water systems to support a climate-resilient WECC grid. We find climate impacts on the water sector tend to raise electricity use and lower hydropower generation, which could affect grid reliability and decarbonization. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

The cost of decarbonizing the #powergrid will increase due to the impact of #climatechange on #water resources, says a team of researchers at UC San Diego UCSD Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Berkeley Lab National Centre for Atmospheric Science NREL University of Toronto UC Berkeley in Nature Communications today.ucsd.edu/story/plans-fo…
