Rafting trips change lives. At the Center for Watershed Sciences, we've developed an expedition curriculum that transforms learners into leaders. Take a virtual tour of the first half of our 2016 Grand Canyon expedition at the new #UCDavisGrandCanyon website.

In the aftermath of releasing the report "Estimates of Irrigated Cropland Idled due to the 2016 Drought" (http://droughtimpacts.ucdavis.edu), several commentaries have indicated that land fallowing in the summer of 2016 exceeds the 77,000 acres in the 2016 drought report. A short memo provides additional details and clarification on the difference between climate related and other cutbacks. (The same clarification applies to jobs and other economic aggregates).

Register now to join us in California for the 2016 Natural Areas Conference October 18-21, 2016. Our theme is Climate Change Adaptation and Natural Areas Management: Turning Words to Action.
