Lake Erie, part of Earth's largest surface freshwater system, provides drinking water for 11 million people. Its water quality is threatened by increased fertilizer-derived nutrients.

Researchers Anna Michalak, Tom Bridgeman, and Pete Richards are studying how farming practices and severe weather contribute to these nutrient levels, which diminish water quality and threaten the lake's ecosystem and public health. This research was published on July 12, 2013.

Sierra Nevada snowmelt is vital for California. It provides drinking water for 30% of residents, irrigates key San Joaquin Valley crops, and powers hydroelectric plants supplying 15% of the state's electricity.

Scientists Martha Conklin and Tom Harmon (UC Merced) are researching at the Southern Sierra Critical Zone Observatory. They use wireless sensors to accurately measure snowpack and melt, enabling state water managers to make better allocation decisions for this precious resource.

Despite scientific consensus on human-caused climate change, political rhetoric, such as President-elect Trump's "hoax" claim, emboldens denial. This fuels public anxiety over potential fossil fuel expansion and the reversal of climate progress, a significant shift from past bipartisan support.

Join us for an informative look at how climate change became so divisive. Climate scientist Michael Mann and cartoonist Tom Toles offer a satirical perspective, while science journalist Cristine Russell discusses the politicization of science. Psychologist Renee Lertzman explores the psychology of denial, aiming to foster common ground and solutions.
