The Future of Los Angeles: Understanding Local Impacts of Climate Change Free Luncheon Briefing Professor Alex Hall will provide an intimate briefing of his recent mid-century temperature study explaining how and why LA will be a hotter city. He will also be able to discuss upcoming studies that reveal further chapters of our local climate story. Climate change will change everything in Los Angeles. Come ask your most profound or most elementary questions! Tuesday, October 30 11:00am - 1:30pm ~ Free lunch provided with reservation. ~ Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Second floor, Room 2-456 700 N.

Parking and transit: Public transit to the meeting is encouraged; MWD is located at Union Station. Parking is not provided but is available in paid lots surrounding Union Station. Through the development of climate models, research indicates that by the mid-twenty-first century the Los Angeles region is likely to warm by 4.6 degrees Fahrenheit on average, with high elevations and inland areas warming up to 50 percent more than areas near the coast, particularly during the summer months. Heat extremes are likely to increase significantly; therefore, adaptation to a changing climate over the next few decades is inevitable for the Los Angeles region. Dr. Alex Hall is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, teaching climate-related courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He is the faculty director of the UCLA Center for Climate Change Solutions. Dr. Hall was a contributing author to the 2007 IPCC Fourth Scientific Assessment of Climate Change Working Group I report and a lead author for Chapter 14 of the Working Group I component of the upcoming IPCC Fifth Assessment, Climate Phenomena and their Relevance for Future Regional Climate Change.
