报告简介：
Water storage is central to water security, especially given California’s hot dry summers and high interannual variability in precipitation. This talk will focus on lessons for sustaining water security in a changing climate, drawing on observations from the 2011-15 drought in California, and particularly what we have learned through research at the Southern Sierra Critical Zone observatory about the drought resilience of Sierra Nevada headwaters.
