Climate warming shifts lightning-caused forest fires farther north
Extreme lightning storms are the main driver of recent massive fire years in Alaska and Canada, and these storms are likely to move farther north with climate warming, potentially altering landscapes, according to findings in Nature Climate Change by researchers from UCI, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and elsewhere. Analyzing satellite images and data from ground-based networks, […]
UCI, other California campuses urge Trump to stick with climate agreement
UCI faculty are joining thousands of colleagues across California in signing an open letter on climate change to President Donald Trump and his administration, calling on them “in the most urgent terms possible, to maintain our country’s commitment to meeting the greenhouse gas emission targets set forth in the Paris Climate Agreement.” The U.S. signed the pact last […]
