And in case you missed our previous posts regarding video releases about SFA2.0, here is a recap:

In December of 2014, at the one-year anniversary of the Genomes-to-Watershed Scientific Focus Area (SFA2.0), Berkeley Lab’s Earth Sciences Division (ESD) released a video on its groundbreaking vision and plan, followed by videos on watershed structure and controls and metabolic potential.

Research scientist Michelle Newcomer Talks About Wildfire’s Effects on Water Quality at AGU

December 12, 2018

Before the Camp Fire this fall, the October 2017 Northern California Wildfires were the deadliest in California history. Last year’s fires burned 110,000 acres in Sonoma and Napa counties–and 8 percent of the Russian River watershed. This week in Washington, D.C. at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, research scientist Michelle Newcomer has…

Berkeley Lab computer simulations find climate change making hurricanes more intense

New supercomputer simulations by climate scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have shown that climate change intensified the amount of rainfall in recent hurricanes such as Katrina, Irma, and Maria by 5 to 10 percent. They further found that if those hurricanes were to occur in a future…

Sierra Snowpack Could Drop Significantly By End of Century

December 11, 2018

A future warmer world will almost certainly feature a decline in fresh water from the Sierra Nevada mountain snowpack. Now a new study by the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) that analyzed the headwater regions of California’s 10 major reservoirs, representing nearly half of the state’s surface storage, found they could…
