This winter is projected to have one of the strongest El Niños on record, with increased odds of heavy rainfall, flooding, coastal erosion, and landslides in Southern California. In this talk, climate and mathematics professor Bobby Sanchez will provide an oceanographer’s perspective on how an El Niño forms, why rain and flooding are more likely to occur, and how worried you should be about Kelvin waves! The lecture will conclude with a Q&A.
