Our Common Climate: Variability and Climate Change in the US-Mexico Western Border Region

This year it is our honor to host Dr. Tereza Cavazos Perez, Professor of Physical Oceanography at the Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education at Ensenada (CICESE) in Mexico.

Dr. Cavazos's talk will present an overview of relevant climate drivers shared in the US-Mexico western border region, as well as their possible changes and impacts. From extreme weather to droughts, from the monsoon rains to the jet stream and El Niño events, these variations see no artificial borders; however, adaptation to climate change poses major challenges particularly south of the border. Delays in finding feasible and equitable actions can have severe consequences for present and future generations.
