Record-breaking weather consistent with climate change is fanning the flames
Boston’s NPR News Station WBUR 90.9 featured IoES Center for Climate Science director, Alex Hall as a guest where he said the conditions causing wildfires in California tracks with global…
Did climate change diminish or strengthen the Santa Ana winds of Southern California? “I would say there’s not high confidence in any of these results because they do conflict . .…
Climate scientists Daniel Swain and Alex Hall spoke with 89.3 KPCC regarding whether there was a connection between climate change, the California wildfires, and the Santa Ana winds.
IoES’ Allison Carruth, Daniel Swain, and Alex Hall are featured in Science magazine’s article on the wicked wind of the West- the Santa Ana winds that have caused massive damage…
Alex Hall discusses Santa Ana winds and forecasters’ ability to predict wind activity and fire risk.
When the snow disappears, California will lose what for decades has acted as a natural storage system. Alex Hall, a UCLA professor whose research focuses on reducing uncertainties associated with climate change, said there is mounting evidence that the pattern of long droughts followed by big wet years will become more exaggerated.
Parfrey is part of a regional climate action and sustainability collaboration at the University of California, Los Angeles, where professor Alex Hall led a groundbreaking study that found climate change will push up temperatures by an average of 4 to 5 degrees by the middle of the century. The number of days where temperatures climb above 95 degrees will roughly double on the coast, triple in downtown Los Angeles and quadruple in the valley.
Dr. Alex Hall and his team at the UCLA Center for Climate Science undertook a comprehensive investigation of future climate in California’s Sierra Nevada. A key factor in the severity…
If greenhouse-gas emissions continue on roughly their current trajectory, then Northern California’s temperatures will warm by between 6 and 11 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. “That’s approximately the current temperature difference…
