Climate change is in large parts responsible for this storm, says Professor Kathleen Treseder, from the University of California, Irvine’s Ecology and Evolutionary Biology department.
KNX Radio Climate Change Interview Featuring Professor Steve Allison
UCs Irvine, Riverside and San Diego are working to find solutions to manage the impacts from climate change with a regional project to reduce risks in California, led by UCI and Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Steven Allison.
Sea level rise could drastically erode California beaches by the end of the century
Kathleen Treseder thinks a lot about potential solutions for problems like erosion. She studies and teaches climate change at the University of California, Irvine. She says many of the expensive homes along Orange County’s coastline might withstand waves lapping at their porches, but they could be taken out by a storm surge.
Save the bumblebees!
When most people think about saving the bees, its usually the honeybees. In reality, saving the honeybee population is just the beginning. There are thousands of other species of wild bees we should be thinking about. They are not only vital to the ecosystem, studying wild bees has benefits for humans too.
KCBS Radio’s Liz Saint John spoke with Tobin J. Hammer, Assistant Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Irvine.

UC Irvine biologists find what colors a butterfly’s world
In searching for the genetic mechanism behind this difference, the UCI biologists selected as their subject Heliconius charithonia, in which visual capacity is sexually dimorphic. When they finished assembling the first complete genome for this species, they learned that its W – or female – chromosome contained the opsin gene.
