From the San Francisco Estuary & Watershed Science Journal
The latest issue of San Francisco Estuary & Watershed Science (Vol. 23, Issue 2) highlights strategies for advancing science-based decision-making amidst climate change and extreme weather, explores the impacts of catastrophic wildfires on water quality, and examines the role of atmospheric rivers in California’s evolving hydroclimate and flood risks.
Additionally, the issue features research on protecting endangered smelt species through hydrodynamic and ecological modeling and reconstructs historical freshwater inflows to the San Francisco Estuary during the post-Gold Rush era.
