Title: "Anthropogenic climate change at Point Reyes and across US national parks"
Presenter: Patrick Gonzalez, Ph.D., Principal Climate Change Scientist, U.S. National Park Service and Associate Adjunct Professor, University of California, Berkeley
Time: Noon
Summary: Anthropogenic climate change has already increased temperatures and raised sea level at Point Reyes National Seashore. Continued climate change could reduce habitat for marine mammals, shift vegetation, increase wildfire potential, and increase other future risks to natural and cultural resources in Point Reyes. This presentation will provide climate change science information specific to Point Reyes, explain the situation across US national parks, and describe how cutting carbon pollution can still limit damage to our national parks.
