Science-based solutions for land management
The Center for Ecosystem Climate Solutions (CECS) is developing the science-based tools California needs to more effectively manage its natural lands for climate change.
CECS brings together researchers, managers, and practitioners from across the state, who are all working to improve the health and resilience of our communities and the ecosystems we depend on.
New research by a team including CECS Co-PI James Randerson/@randersonjt shows how climate change could significantly increase lightning in the Arctic, leading to more fire & climate warming⚡️ Today, this work is featured in @NatGeo! Check it out below.
@uciess's Yang Chen @Yang_Chen_yc and James Randerson's @randersonjt's new @NatureClimate research on amped-up Arctic lightning just struck @NatGeo.
