From the Delta Science Program:
Part 2 of the 2025 State of Bay-Delta Science is now available online in the San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science (SFEWS) journal’s latest issue. In whole, this edition includes seven articles summarizing the state of the science on climate change and extreme events, social and ecological impacts, and climate governance and adaptation strategies in the Bay-Delta and its watershed. Articles have been released across two issues of SFEWS in 2025. Part 1 included four articles: an introduction to the edition written by the editorial board, and three focused review articles covering climate governance, droughts, and heatwaves.
In the most recent release, articles address wildfires and water quality impacts, atmospheric rivers and floods, and perspectives from the editorial board on how to improve science-informed decision-making under climate uncertainty. This Delta Week, read this information sheet and visit the SBDS website to learn more about this important ongoing synthesis outlet.
