Groundbreaking science is helping regions across California adapt to climate change and its impacts. No place demonstrates this more than the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This huge estuary is a hub for water supply, agriculture, recreation, and cultural heritage. It is also under grave threat from climate impacts, including sea level rise and weather whiplash. Join the California Natural Resources Agency on October 27, 2025, at 12:00 PM via Zoom to unpack how emerging scientific research is shaping innovative strategies to protect the Delta’s communities, agriculture, infrastructure, and world-renowned biodiversity in the coming decades. The Delta Stewardship Council and its Delta Science Program are proud to be among the panelists participating in this important conversation.

The Delta Stewardship Council’s monthly meetings are the definitive place for the public to learn about and comment on the implementation of the Delta Plan.

The Delta Independent Science Board is seeking input from the public on its draft review, “Science to Inform Management of Subsided Lands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.” This report summarizes key findings and recommendations developed by the Delta ISB on the science needed for improving the management of subsided lands in the Delta. The findings and recommendations are based on reflections from a workshop hosted in October 2023, interviews with subject matter experts, and a limited review of relevant literature. The review is intended to serve a diverse audience that includes Delta managers, researchers, legislators, decision-makers from local, state, and federal agencies, and other interested parties.
