[San Francisco] Tomorrow’s Extremes: California’s Climate on the Edge

With wildfires becoming increasingly frequent and intense, droughts gripping the land, and sea levels steadily rising, it’s evident that climate change has reached a critical point in California. Join us for an evening of high level expertise in the field of Climate Change with Prof. Dr. Sonia I. Seneviratne (ETH Zurich) and Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh (Stanford).

The state is grappling with the profound impacts of this global crisis.

How has climate change transformed California’s landscapes, from the scorching valleys to the towering forests? What are the consequences for society, including agriculture, public health, and economic stability? In the face of such challenges, what insights can experts like Prof. Dr. Sonia I. Seneviratne and Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh offer to shed light on the gravity of the situation and provide potential solutions? Join us as we delve into the pressing issue of climate change in California and its profound effects on society.

Prof. Dr. Sonia I. Seneviratne from ETH Zurich and Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh from Stanford’s Doerr School of Sustainability will be presenting their work and personal research projects on Global Warming, taking first a global perspective and then diving into the local effects we have all witnessed in the past few years.

This event is organized in partnership with the ETH Alumni Association.
