California's Sierra snowpack peaked at only 73% of average on February 25, 2026, and has since diminished. The Northern Sierra recorded just 10% of normal snow levels by mid-April.

Eliasson's project poses the question, 'What does extinction or a shrinking lake sound and look like?' This framing encourages viewers to reflect on their responsibility as stewards of the lake.

Architecture can no longer be conceived as an isolated object, detached from the technical networks that sustain contemporary life. This condition calls for new readings and approaches.

In recent years, however, the risks have sharply risen, along with the size and impact of bigger blazes. There is a changing wildfire dynamic in this region.

Citizen Science Month is built around a goal of 2.5 million 'Acts of Science,' tying the annual event to America's 250th birthday through a simple but powerful idea: lots of small contributions can add up to something really meaningful.

We created Earth in Action to provide a lens into what's happening on our planet, as it happens. Whether it's something typical, like the current air temperature, or an extreme event like a major dust storm, we wanted to provide an opportunity for people to see them.

While humans have assembled a lot of weather data, flash floods are too short-lived and localized to be measured comprehensively, the way the temperature or even river flows are monitored over time. That data gap means that deep learning models, which are increasingly capable of forecasting the weather, aren't able to predict flash floods.

"So whenever people think about hot weather, they always talk about the temperature," he says. "There's two issues with that. First of all, most people don't realise that the temperature is measured in the shade. So if you're in direct solar radiation, the amount of heat stress you're exposed to is much greater as it will stress your body out a lot more."

'They save up ice like a savings account and then spend it all very quickly like a Black Friday event.'
