Local Fox news (KMPH) at Fresno covers our recent paper (nature.com/articles/s4324…), and draw connections to the recent high incidences of Valley Fever in the California's Central Valley. youtu.be/Lvhz7wocnDg?si…

Media is beginning to pick up our paper and write stories about it. This one focuses on SGMA implications for dust storms in Central Valley. hanfordsentinel.com/business/agric…

New publication alert from @AeroClimate Our paper "Fallowed agricultural lands dominate anthropogenic dust sources in California" has just been published with Springer Nature in Communications Earth & Environment.

With the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, that require farmers to get their groudwater use into balance, we expect that more agricultural lands will be fallowed in Central Valley, leading to more dust storms, like the one that happened on 11/11/2024

We also showed that the coverage of these fallowed land has been increasing in recent years, as do the associated anthropogenic dust, in part because of recent drought that has become a problem in California.

It was great to have Xue Zheng from #LLNL at @ucmerced and to give a seminar about the recent advances in the @doescience #E3SM model.

WE R1! 💙💛 UC Merced has officially been named a Carnegie R1 top-tier research university—the only one in the Central Valley. In less than 20 years, we've joined the nation's most elite institutions, proving that innovation and impact have no limits. 🔗 ucm.edu/3ussof

Unbelievable satellite imagery of a massive dust storm (haboob) roaring across New Mexico and northern Mexico. This dust storm, generated by severe thunderstorms, is over 200 miles in length!
