Coming El Nino could gently replenish overstressed aquifers in parched state – or it might ravage vulnerable infrastructure

In the spirit of UCI’s forward-thinking founders, campus researchers see beyond the present to create a brilliant future

Rain barrels, absorbent roofs, permeable pavement could help reduce waste

UCI water and drought expert Amir AghaKouchak gets work published in three major journals within two weeks

UCI and other scientists say Californians must learn to live within the state’s new climate

Researchers from the University of California, Irvine and NASA have uncovered a remarkably strong link between high wildfire risk in the Amazon basin and the devastating hurricanes that ravage North Atlantic shorelines. The climate scientists’ findings appear in the journal Geophysical Research Letters near the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s calamitous August 2005 landfall at New Orleans.

UCI Earth system science professor Jay Famiglietti and his team have made the cover of the Sept. 26 issue of the prestigious journal Science.

Freshwater runoff from the Sierra Nevada may decrease by as much as one-quarter by 2100 due to climate warming on the high slopes, according to scientists at UC Irvine and UC Merced.

Twelve UC undergrads go Down Under to study Aussie approaches to drought, conservation and resource management

A new study by University of California, Irvine and NASA scientists finds more than 75 percent of the water loss in the drought-stricken Colorado River Basin since late 2004 came from underground resources. The extent of groundwater loss may pose a greater threat to the water supply of the western United States than previously thought.
