Dr. Joshua Viers and his U.C. Merced graduate students study how set-back levees on the Cosumnes River can reduce flood hazards while also recharging local aquifers.

Since 2006, California has been releasing periodic reports on how the state should adapt to the potential impacts of climate change. The most recent report is unique in that it also looks at key climate risks from a regional perspective. Our news director Alice Daniel recently spoke with Joshua Viers, a watershed scientist at UC Merced and one of the authors of the San Joaquin Valley assessment.
