Stephanie Pincetl, director of the California Center for Sustainable Communities at UCLA said, “We need to build inward, not outward. We’re not Manhattan, we’re never going to be Manhattan, but couldn’t we be more like parts of Brooklyn, or parts of Boston? How about allowing those large houses that exist through Los Angeles to turn into duplexes and triplexes? They could turn into three apartments, still with plenty of open space: they have a yard, they have lots of street parking.”

Previous research on California burn scars found that sediment erosion is often three or four times greater after a wildfire, according to Chuxuan Li, a research climate scientist and hydrologist at UCLA. In addition to soil burn severity and rainfall rates, regional topography is a major factor in debris flow risk. “Post-fire debris flows are more likely to occur in steep and narrow canyons and also upper stream catchments compared to downhill,” Li said.

Now more than ever, staying connected is key. That is why we are moving forward with a comprehensive, active UCLA Connects: Listening Exercise. This is a series of 30-plus conversations that will bring together every school and unit on our campus, including UCLA Health, and include voices from every group in our wider Bruin family. I want to hear from students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, donors, elected officials, business and community leaders and neighbors.

This weekend, take advantage of a final chance to view “How You Shimmer: Sound Portal for Whale Bubbles” by Yolande Harris. Part of “Atmosphere of Sound: Sonic Art in Times of Climate Disruption” from the UCLA ArtSci Center in the School of the Arts and Architecture, the installation is on view now through Tuesday in the CNSI Gallery on campus. It is an imaginative dive into an otherwise inaccessible world, and a sound portal to join with another species. Harris transforms digital traces of whales’ underwater movements into heavy bronze spirals. Blown glass sculptures evoke the bubble nets formed by the breath of whales working in concert. Accompanying this installation is “From a Whale’s Back,” an audiovisual work that uses data from scientific tags that study the behaviors of whales, asking us to consider the whales’ relationships to each other as well as our relationship to them. RSVP for a viewing time.
