Combining Math and Genetics: California Researcher’s Innovative Approach to Predicting Extreme Weather

Pasadena, Calif., June 12, 2023 – A California Institute of Technology researcher is revolutionizing the way we predict rare weather patterns in the face of increasing extreme weather events. Robert Webber, a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, has developed...

More evidence that California weather is trending toward extremes

Kristen Guirguis, a climate researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, led a team that discovered evidence that the risk of severe weather is increasing in the Southwest. The researchers looked into the daily interactions of four major weather systems that affect...

Wildfire smoke accelerates glacier melt, affects mountain runoff

Wildfires are becoming more common, as global temperatures rise. University of Saskatchewan (USask) hydrology researchers found that exposure to wildfire smoke can cause glaciers to melt faster. It is affecting mountain runoff that provides major freshwater resources for life downstream. A team USask hydrology researchers...
