PROJECT SUMMARY:
In one sense the story of the California condor is a great triumph.
At one point, the number of free-flying condors in their namesake state had dropped to zero. But by 2010, after decades of restoration efforts, the population resurged to a milestone figure: one hundred birds soaring through California’s skies. Condors had begun to lay eggs in Mexico, too, for the first time since at least the 1930s. And when a pair of condors nested in Big Sur, they were the first to do so in northern California in a century.
This project will investigate methods for producing fisheries stock assessment models that better reflect the way fish growth rates vary across time and space, providing more accurate estimates of fish population health as the climate changes.

After a long period of decline, nuclear power is having a moment. Here in California, Pacific Gas & Electric is seeking to extend its license to keep Diablo Canyon, the state's last nuclear plant, operating. The rationale is climate change: nuclear reactors offer a reliable supply of energy, and they do not directly emit any greenhouse gasses.
