Researcher Chat: Dr. Sasha Gershunov on Our Local Climate |

Our first researcher spotlight features Dr. Sasha Gershunov, climate scientist and co-leader of Hub Theme Area 1: Atmosphere–land–ocean dynamics, who sat down with Hub manager Maren Hale for a discussion about the climate of the Southern California region. During the conversation, Sasha explained how this year's rainy winter compared to previous years and provided some insight on what climate challenges we might experience later this summer and fall.
Read the interview with Dr. Gershunov on our blog, and stay tuned for more research spotlights in future newsletters!
