Using computer simulations and X-ray experiments, researchers could “see” in detail why lithium ions move slowly in a solid-state battery—specifically, at the electrolyte-electrode interface. The work could lead to new strategies to enhance ionic conductivity in solid-state batteries.
UCLA-led critical mission studies program creates a new model to understand the past, present and future.
Now Charles Lester, former executive director of the California Coastal Commission, is revitalizing UC Santa Barbara’s Ocean and Coastal Policy Center (OCPC) to carry forward work on pressing coastal management issues, from the protection of public shoreline access to the challenge of community adaptation to sea level rise. Lester has spent the past two-and-a-half years reframing the center, which has been inactive since 2010. With $680,000 in funding from two large grants on the way, he’s poised to truly begin work. California has earned a reputation for successfully managing coastal res...
Housing and Development Newsletter The Ocean and Coastal Policy Center’s current research focus spans three areas: coastal resilience, environmental justice and public beach access, and international knowledge transfer. California’s iconic shoreline — from its communities and beaches to coastal wetlands and intertidal habitats — is increasingly threatened by coastal hazards such as extreme flooding and erosion associated with climate change, sea level rise, storms and el niño events. Indeed, Santa Barbara County is all too familiar with the issues posed by erosion, inundation and ext...
Date Time Share UC Santa Barbara expands its leadership on coastal issues with revival of Ocean & Coastal Policy Center within Marine Science UC Santa Barbara expands its leadership on coastal issues with revival of Ocean & Coastal Policy Center within the Marine Science Institute By Harrison Tasoff Santa Barbara, CA Few institutions have a closer connection to coastal policy than UC Santa Barbara, perched as it is upon the bluffs at Campus Point. Add to this the response to the 1969 oil spill, which birthed the modern environmental movement, and it’s no wonder the university has gone on t...
