DWR Spotlight: Tree Rings Link to Droughts
From the California Department of Water Resources (DWR):
“Thousand-year tree-ring reconstructions of river flows prepared by the University of Arizona for DWR are highlighted this week at a Scripps workshop in San Diego. The workshop, led by DWR Deputy Drought Manager Jeanine Jones, is to examine patterns of climate variability that may provide predictive capability for drought or help support climate change modeling. The workshop focuses on a periodic wet/dry oscillation seen in parts of historical and paleo records in the West, particularly in the Colorado River Basin.”
