description: Deeply reducing energy use emissions while ensuring reliable infrastructure is critical to meet California’s carbon neutrality goals by 2045 (California Air Resources Board 2022 Scoping Plan). Extreme weather events, such as wildfires and heavy precipitation, have increased the complexity of meeting this goal while maintaining reliable electricity services, as evidenced by public safety power shutoffs (California Climate Solutions, Goal 3). Disadvantaged communities (DACs) have been disproportionately affected by load shedding and restoration prioritization decision-making, exacerbating the persistent economic and health inequities these communities face. Adoption of end-use electrification and distributed energy resources (DERs, such as PV) at the household and community level are key strategies for a resilient carbon neutral grid. Adoption rates for these technologies have been lower across DACs. Achieving resiliency in California’s electricity grid will not only require a technical redesign of our grid’s infrastructure and operation but also a nuanced understanding of the barriers to climate action and local resilience for communities.

 The outcome of this project is to support electric utilities and DACs to achieve resilient distribution networks against climate impacts. There are four interconnected thrusts, all informed by an advisory board of community-based organizations, electric utilities, the California Public Utilities Commission and the Electric Power Research Institute. First, we will characterize consumer perspectives on electrification and DERs via surveys and quantify the propensity of adoption of residential electrification, rooftop PV, battery storage, electric vehicles (EVs), and demand response with an emphasis on DACs. In the second thrust, we will use the survey results to examine possible spatial distributions of electrified load adoption and compare these to constraints on infrastructure (e.g., feeder capacity, roof and land suitability) to inform feasible configurations of microgrids. In the third thrust, we will study how DERs can ensure climate resilience. In the final thrust, we will examine how economic incentives (e.g., new vehicle-to-grid tariffs) can benefit DAC customers, the transmission network, and electric utilities, by enabling DERs to generate revenue from engaging in the wholesale electricity market (FERC 2222).

Year: 2024

description: This project is seeking seed funding to support research focused on developing protoacoustic image-guided precision proton cancer therapy. This project will be a collaborative effort between investigators from UC Irvine, as well as other researchers from University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC), each bringing their complementary expertise to the table. Dr. Xiang, a pioneer in protoacoustic imaging, will lead the imaging device team, while Drs. Yong Chen and Tyler Gunter at OUHSC, an exceptional expert in proton therapy, will provide expertise in radiation oncology. With the help of this seed grant, the research team will be able to gather the necessary preliminary data to submit an NIH R01 grant to the National Cancer Center (NIH/NCI) in June 2024.
 The Overall Objective of the planned R01 application is to 1) establish a robust protoacoustic dosimeter for 3D in vivo dosimetry in FLASH proton therapy which is critical for its clinical translation and adoption; 2) develop a strategic alliance of multi-disciplinary (biomedical engineering, radiology, medical physics, and oncology) multi-institutional research team (UCI, and OUHSC), which will accelerate the developments and translation of this novel dosimeter for clinical use in the next 5-10 years. The protoacoustic dosimeter will create a 3D map of the radiation dose delivered to the tumor and surrounding healthy tissue during proton therapy. This will help doctors make sure that the therapy is precise and effective. The new technology we're developing will also make proton therapy less harmful to patients, by reducing the side effects of radiation therapy. During this one-year seed grant, our main focus will be to create a prototype of the protoacoustic/ultrasound imaging technology and gather initial data using a human mimic phantom. This will help us support our R01 proposal and eventually enable us to study the new technology on large animals and conduct a pilot study on patients.

description: Migrant workers have played an increasingly prominent role in climate-related disaster response and recovery efforts in the U.S. These workers often function as “second responders” to wildfires, earthquakes, severe storms, and floods, filling the gaps in formal disaster response systems by helping residents confront disaster risks and undertaking demanding and dangerous work like removing debris and demolishing damaged structures. This workforce has proven critical for maintaining and restoring the health and wellbeing of disaster-impacted communities. Yet workers are frequently exposed to unique job-related hazards that are poorly characterized and can pose significant risks to health and life. These exposures and health risks are exacerbated by limited legal protections for workers, economic insecurity, and labor exploitation.

 The goal of this project is to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of this underserved, at-risk workforce on the frontlines of climate-disaster response and recovery. The initiative represents a novel collaboration between day labor worker centers and multi-disciplinary occupational health researchers. The primary outcomes of this project will be research findings regarding the hazards and stressors facing migrant disaster workers; materials to educate and inform workers and to support future disaster-related research; and tools to establish a community-based infrastructure for protecting the safety, health and wellbeing of this workforce in California. These outcomes are intended to both confront the disparate impacts of climate-related disasters on a vulnerable population and promote the resiliency of California communities by fortifying a workforce that is expected to continue serving as the backbone of disaster response and recovery into the future.

description: “Planning Landscape Resilience for California Indian Allotment Lands” identifies climate and fire risks on California Indian Public Domain Allotments; collaboratively develops culturally-based adaptation strategies through demonstration and monitoring; and effectively communicates critical information to allottees, empowering California Indian communities to acquire needed funding to apply place-based stewardship practices. Public domain allotments are a unique land status that cannot be alienated from California Indian allottees; as such, they are critical sites for California Indian resilience. California Indian people are facing significant climate impacts, as culturally important species necessary for food, medicine, and material culture decline with increased heat, drought, and wildfire. This project brings together California Indian Indigenous knowledge, a baseline ecological dataset from the 1990s, and climate and fire modeling to (1) identify critical sites of vulnerability and potential ecocultural climate refugia on allotment lands; (2) collaboratively develop culturally-based adaptation strategies; and (3) build allottee capacity to acquire public and private funds to implement climate adaptation projects on allotments. “Planning Landscape Resilience for California Indian Allotment Lands” invests in creating accessible climate data, sharing it in searchable web-based and hard-copy formats, and supporting allottees to obtain funding to implement culturally driven adaptation actions. We are committed to bi-directional learning, enacted through workshops and conferences on strategies for creating climate refugia, navigating climate and wildfire predictive data on allotments, developing funding applications, and implementing traditional stewardship to support climate adaptation. “Planning Landscape Resilience for California Indian Allotment Lands” strengthens protections for climate-vulnerable California Indian communities, supports decision making based on the best available climate science, and strengthens climate resilience of natural systems. Our purpose is to improve understanding of the condition and climate risks to California Indian Public Domain Allotments, in order to support Indian allottees to steward and enhance allotments in the face of climate change.
Enhancing Climate Resilience of Small Farms with Waste-Derived Engineered Hydrogels

description: Southeast Asian, Latino, and Black farmers in Fresno and Tulare Counties grow specialty produce for both California farmers markets and state and national wholesale markets. In 2020, farmers in Fresno County produced Asian specialty vegetables valued at $35 million on about 1400 acres of diversified small-scale farms. These socially-disadvantaged growers have unique vulnerabilities, opportunities, and needs under conditions of periodic drought, regional groundwater overdraft related to less reliable surface water resources, and the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, specifically related to irrigation, resource access, and drought resilience. Large areas of these counties have sandy soils with limited water holding capacity, requiring frequent irrigation to maintain plants. In this project, we will develop low-cost agricultural-waste derived hydrogels as an autonomous water retention measure for small farmers, aiming to combat drought and thus enhance the climate resilience of their farms. Our project will directly strengthen protections for climate-vulnerable communities, which has been identified as one of California Climate Action Priorities by California Climate Adaptation Strategy.
 Hydrogels are a special type of polymers that can harvest and store water with extraordinary capacity (over 100 times of its own volume). They are widely used in consumer products such as diapers. Previous studies have already demonstrated the feasibility of using hydrogels for smart, sustainable agriculture such as water retention and controlled release of nutrients. However, synthetic hydrogels are typically nondegradable and may leave biologically toxic residues. On the other hand, biodegradable hydrogels are often too fragile to maintain their integrity for water retention. Herein, we propose to develop agricultural waste-derived degradable, mechanically durable hydrogels with optimized forms for autonomous water retention. Moreover, agricultural wastes are abundant in cellulose, which will be extracted to make hydrogels in this project, thus providing a nature-based solution that increases California’s circular economy. We will further leverage the University of California Cooperative Extension Small Farms Program network, resources, and capacity to fine-tune and coproduce this climate-smart technology with through extension activities and on-farm partnerships.

description: California’s ponds and wetlands provide critical habitat for many sensitive species while also performing vital ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling, pest control, and water provisioning. Yet these systems and their inhabitants are disproportionately vulnerable to the dramatic fluctuations in water availability increasingly experienced in California, including both extreme drought and severe flooding. The core objectives of this proposal are to quantitatively identify wetland characteristics that promote resilience in aquatic communities and combine this information with climate forecasting to enhance habitat suitability in an uncertain future. We focus on native communities of amphibians, which are now the most imperiled group of vertebrates globally, and in particular on Species of Greatest Conservation Need such as the California red-legged frog and the California tiger salamander. Our approach involves three components: leveraging a uniquely long-term (13 years) and large-scale (85 continuously sampled wetlands and 400 opportunistically sampled wetlands) dataset in the East Bay region to isolate the drivers of resilience to extreme climate events. This will include extending the dataset to capture responses following recent flooding (new sampling in 2023-2024) and the installation of an integrated sensor network on a strategically selected subset of 30 sites to provide high-resolution data on hydroperiod, water chemistry, temperature, phenology, and wildlife activity. Analyses of new and long-term data will be integrated with climate forecast scenarios to identify key management actions that maximize landscape-level richness and enhance resilience in ponds across the East Bay, with a focus on hydroperiod alteration, invasive species removal, reintroductions, and disease mitigation. By forming collaborative partnerships among universities, park management districts, and municipal water agencies, this work has a direct influence on >800 ponds distributed across 50,000 hectares of habitat and offers management insight relevant to amphibian populations across much of the state. Alongside direct outcomes, results from this seed grant will be leveraged to undertake scientifically-informed restoration efforts across managed properties, facilitating the capacity of aquatic wildlife to durably persist in the face of climate variability.

description: California supplies water to nearly 40 million people, sustains the most productive agricultural region in the US, and is a biodiversity hotspot. However, persistent drought, extreme floods, and widespread environmental degradation are exposing significant vulnerabilities in the state’s water management system. Furthermore, decisions over how water is allocated rely on models that consider a limited range of climate and operational scenarios, are constrained by an entrenched system of water rights, and are inaccessible to the public. Building a resilient water future requires new water planning tools that advance sustainable, inclusive, and equitable water stewardship. To meet this need, our project will launch COEQWAL (COllaboratory for EQuity in Water ALlocations), a user-driven framework for water planning that leverages existing models used to operate California’s major water supply systems. An overarching goal is to empower end-users, including those historically excluded from decision making. COEQWAL will follow a structured, participatory process to identify user-defined objectives and design alternative operational scenarios using CalSim3, the water resources planning model used to operate infrastructure throughout California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin River System. This co-production process will occur through facilitated engagement with researchers and community partners, including disadvantaged communities, environmental organizations, tribes, agricultural groups, municipalities, and water agencies. The project will produce a novel library of scenarios for water system operations under a wide range of climate futures. We will also demonstrate the utility of the data library through use cases focused on safe drinking water access, Chinook salmon recovery, and Delta salinity management. We will evaluate tradeoffs and synergies among end-user objectives and share results with accessible language and state-of-the-art visualization tools. Collectively, our team will advance the underlying science, improve existing planning models, bring into the public domain water allocation information that has previously been inaccessible or nonexistent, and catalyze participatory water resilience planning at local, regional, and statewide scales.

description: Introduction. Premenopausal breast cancer (PMBC) is increasing and disproportionately fatal among Black women, who often have greater exposure to environmental pollutants. We aim to understand how chemical exposures interact with internal biological processes to affect PMBC risk in Black women during pregnancy, when physiological changes increase vulnerability to toxins. We also aim to identify patterns of biological markers that may predict future development of PMBC. We will measure over 1,000 environmental chemicals and up to 5,000 biological molecules, including indicators of how women’s bodies react to environmental toxins, in blood collected from pregnant Black women.

 Research questions. 1) How do the hundreds of environmental chemicals that Black women are exposed to daily increase risk for PMBC? 2) Are there certain biological indicators found in Black pregnant women’s blood that can predict if she will develop PMBC? 3) How do environmental chemicals and biological indicators interact to affect PMBC risk?

 General methodology. We will acquire frozen prenatal blood specimens for 138 cases and 414 non-cases from a study of Black Californian women pregnant in 2003-2018 with subsequent data on breast cancer status age <56. We will analyze specimens using laboratory methods capable of efficiently detecting quantities of 1000+ environmental chemicals and up to 5,000 biomolecules. We will use advanced statistics and bioinformatics to determine the relationships between environmental toxins, internal biological processes, and risk for PMBC. We will identify patterns of biomolecules that, independent of chemical exposure, may indicate future development of PMBC and may be used as a screening for pregnant women.

 Innovative elements. This will be the first study to evaluate PMBC risk in relation to hundreds of environmental chemicals and thousands of markers of biological processes during pregnancy, a critically susceptible window of exposure to toxic substances. We will employ recently developed laboratory methods with extensive environmental chemical and biomolecule coverage from a single specimen in a time-, cost-, and sample volume-efficient manner. This study will leverage existing records and frozen specimens to generate longitudinal data, avoiding many of the financial barriers and the lengthy follow-up time associated with prospective data collection.

description: Integrated and Equitable Climate Action (IECA) builds on UC Irvine School of Law’s programs devoted to environmental and land use law, community-based environmental justice research, and public dispute resolution; the Department of Urban Planning and Public Policy’s expertise in climate policy and land use and transportation planning; UC Center Sacramento’s ability to facilitate communication with the State Legislature and disseminate policy-relevant research; and the Newkirk Center for Science and Society's innovation in community-based participatory research. It leverages the depth of experience and expertise of attorneys, geospatial analysts, and urban and regional planners, in close partnership with community leaders and agency staff. IECA focuses on applied research and policy drafting to align local land use plans with state climate objectives and mandates as well as innovations from other jurisdictions. Our community partners contribute to updates to California climate policy through AB 617 steering committees, Scoping Plan updates under AB 32, carbon sequestration and other nature-based solutions through state conservation commitments, and other programs. They stress that California will fail to achieve economic, environmental, and public health co-benefits of climate investments in disadvantaged communities unless it overcomes two longstanding and self-limiting factors. First, they identify land use integration as the central obstacle to maximizing environmental justice benefits of state climate policy. Second, programmatic staff at city and county agencies lack the means to ensure that those updates comply with civil rights laws, including California Government Code § 11135. Through ongoing research and development of legal inventories, compliance metrics, and model ordinances; comparative research; needs assessment focused on jurisdictions with one or more disadvantaged communities; selection of five jurisdictions per year for collaborative plan design; and ongoing sharing of findings and evaluation, IECA will draft land use plan and policy revisions and design and share strategies to align local land use plans with state climate objectives. IECA will ensure that a growing number of California’s 478 municipal governments and 58 counties are at the forefront of state climate policy integration, while assuring compliance with civil rights laws.

description: Recent droughts and wildfires have resulted in extensive tree die-off of dryland forests dominated by pinyon pine across eastern and southern California, with tree regeneration often insufficient for replacement. Pinyon pine trees and the edible pine nuts they produce are critical for wildlife, forest sustainability, and carbon sequestration and are culturally and economically important to Tribal Nations and rural communities. Communities have observed reduced pine nut production in association with increases in aridity, even in areas that have not experienced recent tree mortality. These dramatic reductions threaten Tribal members' and other pine nut harvesters’ livelihood and adversely affect wildlife habitat that support outdoor recreation economies. Managing for pinyon nut production has thus become an increasingly important priority. Our interdisciplinary team will work together to (1) assess how climate and stand structure collectively influence pinyon pine seed production to guide adaptive management; (2) identify the genetic basis for variation in seed production to select trees that will advance reforestation and support a climate resilient economy; (3) understand how Tribal Nations and rural communities in or adjacent to woodlands value and use these ecosystems for food, fuelwood, silvopasture, recreation, and other cultural and economic uses for landscape prioritization; (4) establish a citizen science monitoring plan and network across California’s eastern Sierra Nevada to monitor woodland health and pine nut production; (5) elevate Tribal and community goals for improving climate resilience through public outreach, publications and reports, and a regional conference. This will be accomplished through coupling field surveys that reconstruct cone production with pinyon pine genomic data across eastern and southern California populations. Household surveys, community focus groups, and stakeholder interviews in Mono and Inyo counties will be conducted to understand how forest adjacent communities value and use dryland forest resources for cultural, economic, and subsistence purposes to inform prioritization of management objectives. This seed grant will support important data collection, analyses, and engagement to support climate-adaptive dryland forest management and expanded Indigenous forest stewardship in the eastern Sierra Nevada.

description: Disruption of the hydrologic cycle - including more frequent and extreme droughts and floods - is part of climate change in California. Adapting resilient water systems for the future requires innovative solutions, including simultaneous technical, institutional, and cultural advances. We propose to leverage a federal- and state-funded, flood-control project on the lower Pajaro River, central coastal California, to benefit groundwater supply, water quality, and aquatic habitat. This will provide a template for other projects in California (and other states) to adapt to impacts of larger and more frequent floods, while improving aquatic and ecosystem system resilience.

 The flood-control project will raise and shift levees along the Pajaro River and Corralitos Creek, incorporating ~200 acres of flood plain. The project area overlies the Pajaro Valley Groundwater Basin, an over-drafted aquifer system that supplies >90% of freshwater demand for high-value farmland and nearby communities, and is adjacent to the largest remaining wetland system on Monterey Bay, a critical habitat for numerous migrating, endemic, and threatened species. The project region includes areas that are suitable for managed aquifer recharge, including coarse soils and connection with underlying aquifers that can store more water. The Pajaro River is prone to flooding the surrounding valley, home to multiple disadvantaged communities, and is also impaired by heavy sediment load, salts, and nutrients.

 We propose to measure and model how increases in flood flow capacity can be linked to: enhanced riverbed recharge to benefit groundwater supplies, improved water quality through greater surface water – groundwater exchange, and improved aquatic habitat, including thermal regulation. We will evaluate legal and institutional challenges impacting multi-benefit flood-control projects, and assess how permitting for environmental improvements can be streamlined. We will survey, sample, map, and model dynamic river and flood-plain conditions; identify "hot spots" to prioritize for enhancing conditions between and outside levees; and collaborate with agencies, NGOs, and community stakeholders to enhance system benefits as levee setbacks are implemented. This pilot work will generate actionable results, initiate longer-term benefits, and demonstrate generalizable technical and policy solutions.

description:
To the Editor: Our understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) pathogenesis is incomplete, but repetitive antigen exposure plays a role in most patients. Skin prick testing, serum IgE levels, and atopy patch testing in some centers have been used to guide dietary elimination, but there is insufficient data to suggest that they are superior to empiric elimination of common food triggers. Recent data suggest a possible association between EoE and elevated levels of total IgG4 (T-IgG4), and that IgG4 may be implicated in disease pathogenesis.

description: The immediate and multidimensional nature of the climate crisis demands frameworks for transformative action that engage young people across the course of their K-12 public schooling trajectories. However, teachers generally lack the robust curricular, pedagogical, and professional support they need to design and implement what we call “Justice-Centered Climate Change Pedagogy” (JCCCP) in their work: that is, teaching and learning for climate justice that centers students’ lived experiences and supports their continued development as knowledge-creators and sociocritical change-makers at local, regional, and global levels. To empower teachers in this vital work, we are seeking support for professional learning on teachers’ creation of place-based, justice-centered climate action projects in their classrooms. Specifically, by coordinating partnerships across all K-12 grade bands (including formal and informal educational spaces), we hope to address an urgent question in the field: what acute training and longitudinal support do teachers need in order to create opportunities for students to explore vital climate-related knowledges in school and take action toward climate justice in their communities?

 Our project will engage both pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators (especially BIPOC teachers and teachers serving BIPOC students), along with several community organizations, as we seek to address this question and several actionable outcomes that guide our work. The first of these is the development of a comprehensive template and toolkit that school districts and teacher communities can use to support in-service teachers in implementing JCCCP. The second is a resource guide for practitioners with several rigorously researched case studies of JCCCP implementation. These case studies will span across grade-level experiences, subject-matter backgrounds, and role types (i.e. classroom teacher, professional learning facilitator, community partner, etc.). The third outcome we seek is the development of research on pre-service teacher experiences with JCCCP that California teacher education programs can use to guide and expand their practices around education for climate justice. This research would be novel in the field, and position California teachers to serve as national leaders in climate education.
