Join scientists from UC Santa Barbara’s Earth Research Institute for El Niño in Our Backyard: Local Consequences of a Global Climate Pattern, a free public event exploring how Pacific climate patterns affect Santa Barbara’s weather, coastal erosion and ecosystems. The event will feature two presentations, a panel discussion with four experts and an audience Q&A. Learn how El Niño influences local conditions, what these patterns can tell us about the region’s future, and how broader climate changes affect our coastal communities.
