MOUNT ETNA was rocked by an eruption last night, sending columns of smoke and fountains of lava into the sky for the fifth time in the space of a week - but where is Mount Etna in Italy?

As the planet continues to warm, the twin challenges of diminishing water supply and growing energy demand will intensify. But water and energy are inextricably linked. For instance, nearly a fifth of California’s energy goes toward water-related activities, while more than a tenth of the state’s electricity comes from hydropower. As society tries to adapt to one challenge, it needs to ensure it doesn’t worsen the other. To this end, researchers from UC Santa Barbara, Lawrence Berkeley Na...

As the planet continues to warm, the twin challenges of diminishing water supply and growing energy demand are intensifying.


Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara have developed a science-based analytic framework to evaluate the complex connections between water and energy, and options for adaptations in response to an evolving climate.
