    The new Sustainability Solutions Institute at the University of California San Diego has created a partnership with the University of Cambridge in the UK. With the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, we are starting this initiative with a pair of workshops. 

    The first, to be held May 4th – 6th at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's new seaside conference center, will compare the climatic causes and impacts of declining mountain snows on water availability in California(and the American West) and in Himalayan Asia. A number of scientists from India, Nepal, Singapore, and China are participating. 

    The public is invited to hear the results of this workshop on Wednesday, May 6th from 3 pm – 5 pm, followed by a reception.
