UC San Diego Chemistry Professor Wins Prestigious California Air Resources Board Honor

May 16, 2016

Kimberly Prather, distinguished chair in atmospheric chemistry at the University of California San Diego, will receive the Haagen-Smit Clean Air Award from the California Air Resources Board May 18. Board officials said they bestowed the award upon Prather in its Atmospheric Chemistry Research category to acknowledge her “pioneering work that has transformed our understanding of atmospheric aerosols and their impacts on atmospheric chemistry, climate, and the hydrologic cycle.”

Aided by Scripps Oceanography, Pacific Island Country Launches Plan to Protect Marine Life

May 13, 2016

The Pacific island country Palau has released a Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) Plan to combat illegal activity and manage emergency responses in its ocean waters, which are protected by a recently established national marine sanctuary. Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego were key contributors to the plan.

Ocean Scientists Recommend Plan to Combat Changes to Seawater Chemistry

April 6, 2016

Global carbon dioxide emissions are triggering permanent changes to ocean chemistry along the North American West Coast that require immediate, decisive action to combat. That action includes development of a coordinated regional management strategy, concluded a panel of scientific experts including Andrew Dickson, a professor of marine chemistry at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

Study: Climate Change Will Reduce the Amount of Saharan Dust in Atmosphere

March 22, 2016

Winds transport dust from the Sahara Desert around the world and influence weather and ecology as far away as the Caribbean and South America. Now a history of this transported dust led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego reveals how climate change may alter its global-scale role.

Reconnaissance Flights Into Atmospheric Rivers Aim To Improve West Coast Storm Predictions

March 3, 2016

Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego have developed a new method for improving atmospheric river forecasts based on collecting special observations using two aircraft in atmospheric rivers over the northeast Pacific Ocean. The method was used for the first time in February in National Weather Service-directed flights over the Pacific Ocean.
