arbcombo -- Chairs Lecture: What Climate Change Means for LA: Likely Impacts and Proactive Policies

We are pleased to announce the next Series topic.

"What Climate Change Means for LA:
Likely Impacts and Proactive Policies"

Alex Hall, Ph.D.
University of California, Los Angeles

Wednesday, October 23, 2013 12:00 Noon, PDT (WEBCAST)
Byron Sher Auditorium, 2nd Floor, Cal/EPA Building
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California

Dr. Hall will present results from The Climate Change in the Los
Angeles Region Project, an ongoing series of studies to predict
regional climate at the middle and end of the 21st century under
"mitigation" and "business-as-usual" greenhouse gas emissions
scenarios.

- Using a combination of dynamical and statistical techniques,
Dr. Hall and his team developed very high resolution regional
models that "downscale" more than 30 global models.

- This allowed the team to zoom in on the LA region, producing
climate change projections at a 2-kilometer (1.2 mile)
resolution.

- In this presentation, Dr. Hall will discuss his downscaling
methods, summarize what his team discovered about temperature,
snowfall, and other aspects of climate in the LA region, and
explore the implications of his work for policymakers and the
public.
