SUMMARY:Sierra Nevada Alliance June Webinar: Gus Tolley presents "The Ghosts of California’s Groundwater Past\, Present\, and Future"
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Alliance Monthly Webinar on June 4th at 2 pm Featuring Gus Tolley with Daniel B. Stephens & Associates\, Inc. \nDuring this webinar\, we will be learning about: \nCalifornia is the largest user of groundwater in the United States\, accounting for about 16% of nationwide use. Despite this heavy reliance on the resource\, groundwater extractions in the state remained largely unregulated for over 150 years. As a result\, unconstrained use of groundwater resulted in numerous undesirable results such as subsidence\, long-term declines of water levels\, and streamflow depletion\, among others. The first statewide framework for groundwater regulation was created in 2014\, during one of the worst droughts in recorded history\, with the passage of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). Groundwater basins are now required to form local agencies to achieve and maintain sustainability by 2042 (2040 for critically overdrafted basins)\, and many are currently developing the plans that will outline how they will do so. This presentation will provide a brief historical overview of water use and legislation in California to provide context for how large this change in regulatory oversight of groundwater in California truly is. It will then summarize the goals and process of SGMA\, including an update of the current status. Finally\, the scientific challenges of creating groundwater sustainability plans and implementing SGMA in the future will be discussed. \n

SUMMARY:Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n\n\n\n\n\nRob Badger and Nita Winter will take you behind the scenes on their 27-year journey photographing wildflowers throughout California. \nYou must pre-register on the California Native Plant Society website: http://cnps-yerbabuena.org/calendar/speaker-series/ \nSpeakers: Rob Badger and Nita Winter\nRob Badger and Nita Winter will take you behind the scenes on their 27-year journey photographing wildflowers throughout California. It began in 1992 when they discovered and fell in love with California’s spectacular wildflower blooms in the Mojave Desert’s Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve. Photographing these beautiful landscapes and individual flowers evolved into a documentary art project\, Beauty and the Beast: Wildflowers and Climate Change. Their new multiple award-winning coffee table book\, co-published with CNPS\, focuses on California’s amazing plant diversity and is a companion to their traveling exhibition. \nIn the process of photographing super-bloom landscapes\, Rob and Nita developed unique field techniques to capture one-of-a-kind images. They will discuss how they lugged 80 pounds of cameras and their “natural light” studio equipment from below sea level in Death Valley National Park to alpine meadows and 13\,000-foot-high mountain passes. \nInternationally acclaimed conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter have been life partners and creative collaborators for more than three decades. Their work has been featured in Time\, Mother Jones\, Sierra\, Flora\, the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, San Francisco Chronicle\, and the Los Angeles Times.

SUMMARY:Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\n\n\n\n\n\nRob Badger and Nita Winter will take you behind the scenes on their 27-year journey photographing wildflowers throughout California. \nYou must pre-register on the California Native Plant Society website: http://cnps-yerbabuena.org/calendar/speaker-series/ \nSpeakers: Rob Badger and Nita Winter\nRob Badger and Nita Winter will take you behind the scenes on their 27-year journey photographing wildflowers throughout California. It began in 1992 when they discovered and fell in love with California’s spectacular wildflower blooms in the Mojave Desert’s Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve. Photographing these beautiful landscapes and individual flowers evolved into a documentary art project\, Beauty and the Beast: Wildflowers and Climate Change. Their new multiple award-winning coffee table book\, co-published with CNPS\, focuses on California’s amazing plant diversity and is a companion to their traveling exhibition. \nIn the process of photographing super-bloom landscapes\, Rob and Nita developed unique field techniques to capture one-of-a-kind images. They will discuss how they lugged 80 pounds of cameras and their “natural light” studio equipment from below sea level in Death Valley National Park to alpine meadows and 13\,000-foot-high mountain passes. \nInternationally acclaimed conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter have been life partners and creative collaborators for more than three decades. Their work has been featured in Time\, Mother Jones\, Sierra\, Flora\, the New York Times\, the Washington Post\, San Francisco Chronicle\, and the Los Angeles Times.
