Dr. Daniel L. Swain: Weather Whiplash in California
Joint virtual meeting with Ecologically Sound Practices Partnership
Daniel L. Swain, PhD, Climate Scientist, California Institute for Water Resources, University of California Agriculture & Natural Resources & Research Partner and Weather Extremes Across Scales NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Dr. Daniel L. Swain will be covering weather whiplash in CA and rapid swings between weather extremes, meeting decarbonization goals and learning what is involved in communicating, as he does so masterfully, about science and climate change to the broader public.
Dr. Swain has been named to the 2025 TIME100 Next list, which honors 100 emerging leaders around the world!
“From my perspective as a weather and climate scientist, it’s become really clear to me that the present moment is an especially consequential one,” he said. “When it comes to climate change, we really are on a precipice — and what happens next is going to have consequences that reverberate not only for generations to come, but for the broader context of the Earth’s system literally for millennia. Our choices right now in this moment could not possibly matter more.”
He added, “There is a critical need for institutions to support those who are trying to distill the complex societal and environmental issues that allow us to make more informed decisions about what comes next. So I am grateful for this recognition, which I see as an encouraging indicator that this kind of work really is valued.”
