URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-031/CEC-500-2009-031-D.PDF

Description: This paper provides an initial exploration of this hypothesis through first identifying the dominant daily circulation patterns over North America using an objective cluster analysis on ERA-40 reanalysis of 500 millibar (mb), 700 mb, and 850 mb geopotential height and temperature fields. Next, we evaluate the extent to which these upper-air patterns can be correlated with surface-level oppressive air mass events associated with elevated levels of heatrelated mortality in major California urban centers.

Title: Estimating the Potential Economic Impacts of Climate Change on Southern California Beaches-Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-033/CEC-500-2009-033-D.PDF

Description: Climate change could substantially alter the width of beaches in Southern California. Climatedriven sea level rise will have at least two important impacts on beaches: (1) higher sea level will cause all beaches to become more narrow, all things being held constant, and (2) sea level rise may affect patterns of beach erosion and accretion when severe storms combine with higher high tides. To understand the potential economic impacts of these two outcomes, this study examined the physical and economic effects of permanent beach loss caused by inundation due to sea level rise of one meter and of erosion and accretion caused by a single, extremely stormy year (using a model of beach change based on the wave climate conditions of the El Niño year of 1982/1983.)

Title: Ethylene Dibromide In Two Soil Profiles

URL: http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/empm/pubs/ehapreps/eh8503.pdf

Description: Soil properties and Ethylene Dibromide (EDB) concentrations were measured at two locations with histories of EDB applications. The objective was to explain the presence of EDB residues in a well near one location and the lack of residues in a well near the other location. The soil profile was sampled at each location from the surface to ground water, and ground water samples were collected at the profile base. A combination of statistical analyses (stepwise linear regression and discriminant analyses) was applied to soil data to interpret differences within each location.

Title: Monterey County Residential Air Monitoring

URL: http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/empm/pubs/ehapreps/eh8507.pdf

Description: Levels of pesticides were determined in ambient air collected at three residential locations within the vicinity of Salinas, California. Levels of all positive samples were in the nanogram per cubic meter range. Eight positive samples were collected during the period from midnight until 12:00 noon, coinciding with the time of the day when pesticides were applied to nearby fieids, and wind speeds were lowest. One positive sample was collected from noon until midnight, the time of day coinciding with low pesticide application activity and higher wind speeds. Based on the levels of residues found, there is no indication of a potential health hazard to individuals in the study area (See Risk Assessment Appendix A).

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-047/CEC-500-2009-047-D.PDF

Description: Climate change will have profound effects on the distribution, function, and productivity of California’s forests. To provide managers with the means to anticipate likely forest responses to climate change, we initiated the development of a climate-sensitive growth and yield model for the mixed conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada (WS CalClim 1.0). WS CalClim 1.0 was built using the logic and architecture of the WESSIN variant (WS) of the Forest Vegetation Simulator. Our initial focus was on designing and testing a model of ponderosa pine productivity.

Description: Simulation models are used here to weigh competing influences that might either increase or diminish future floods. Future characteristics of major storms, in particular pineapple express or atmospheric river storms, by global climate models indicated changes mostly at the extremes. Likewise, although the average intensity of storms was not projected to increase much in most climate models, occasional much-larger-than-historical-range storm intensities were simulated.

Title: Sampling for Residues of Fenamiphos, Fenamiphos Sulfoxide And Fenamiphos Sulfone in Well Water

URL: http://www.cdpr.ca.gov/docs/empm/pubs/ehapreps/eh8708.pdf

Description: A well sampling survey was conducted to determine the presence of fenamiphos, fenamiphos sulfoxide, and fenamiphos sulfone in ground water. Wells were sampled in areas where use of fenamiphos coincided with areas of previous contamination by other pesticides, This was possible because fenamiphos is a restricted use pesticide so a spatial record of use was available and the CDFA’s Well Inventory Data Base contains spatial locations of historical pesticide detections in well water. Twenty-four wells were sampled in 16 sections in Fresno County, 12 wells were sampled in 8 sections in San Joaquin County and 5 wells were sampled in 3 sections in Kern County. No residues of fenamiphos or its sulfoxide and sulfone metabolites were detected in any of the samples.

Description: The California Department of Food and Agriculture completed a three-phase study in 1988 to investigate the environmental fate of methyl eugenol, naled, and dichlorvos (DDVP), a degradation product of naled. The first phase of the study was planned to determine the feasibility of monitoring the three compounds during a routine pest eradication program. Once the feasibility of monitoring the three compounds was shown, the second-phase was planned to measure ambient air concentrations of the compounds during a fruit fly eradication. The third-phase was planned to determine if residues of methyl eugenol, naled, and DDVP were present in edible portions of fruit growing near fruit fly traps

Title: The Impacts of Sea-level Rise on the California Coast - Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-024/CEC-500-2009-024-D.PDF

Description: Over the past century, sea level has risen nearly eight inches along the California coast, and general circulation model scenarios suggest very substantial increases in sea level as a significant impact of climate change over the coming century. This study includes a detailed analysis of the current population, infrastructure, and property at risk from projected sea-level rise if no actions are taken to protect the coast.
