Next TERC Talk - Tahoe's Future Climate

On Thursday, January 25, 2024, UC Davis TERC (Tahoe Environmental Research Center) will be hosting a lecture about "How Tahoe's Future Climate Is Going to Change Its Many Watersheds" with Dr. Michael Dettinger. The in-person event will be held at Sunnyside Restaurant and Lodge in their Mountainside Bar.

Climate change is already impacting the Lake Tahoe Basin and even more change will arrive in coming decades. In response, agencies and communities throughout the Basin are beginning to develop plans and actions to enhance their capacities to adapt to climate change. The recently completed study has yielded detailed simulations of weather, snow, and streamflow responses in the 60 subbasins that comprise the Basin to a collection of 16 different global climate-change projections. This study provides an opportunity to think about future trends and transformations in the Basin, including the identification of key climate-change hotspots and refuges (subbasins that will be most or least impacted) in ways not possible with previous projections. Michael Dettinger will talk about all this and what it probably means for the future of the Basin.

Admission is $10 and free for students with a student ID. Get tickets HERE. Appetizers and a no-host bar will be available from 5 - 6 p.m. The lecture will begin at 6 p.m. in the Mountainside Bar at Sunnyside Restaurant and Lodge, 1850 West Lake Boulevard, located just south of Tahoe City. Dinners will be 20% off for interested guests.
