UC Davis researchers are exploring the effects of Klamath River dam removal on salmon populations and habitat restoration. Watch as we uncover the journey of salmon regaining access to 400 miles of historical spawning grounds. This study not only highlights the ecological benefits of river dam removal but also the cultural significance to Indigenou…

Over the last two winter seasons atmospheric rivers have impacted California and the west with extreme precipitation and the cascading consequences of these events. The meteorology that causes atmospheric rivers is complex, but scientists at the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E) are working to help better predict them and underst…

CARTA: Human Origins and Humanity’s Future: Past Present and Future of the Anthropocene on The Oceans and the Anthropocene with Nancy Knowlton

The ocean is enormous, indeed so large that for centuries we assumed that there was nothing we could do to substantially harm it. Unfortunately, we now know that this is not true. We are having success on some fronts, such as saving species from extinction, protecting ocean waters, fishing more sustainably, and restoring damaged ecosystems by repla…
