Southern California Consortium for Lake Studies
I am one of the organizing members of a group of researchers interested in modern processes and paleoenvironmental signatures in lakes and lacustrine sediments. Lakes represent an important archive of information on past climate change, with important implications for understanding current and future water issues in California.
