Bales, a professor and director of the UC Water Security and Sustainability Research Initiative, focuses professionally on California’s effort to build the knowledge base and implement policies that adapt our water supplies, critical ecosystems and economy to the impacts of climate warming.

The presentation is part of the Rae Dorough Speaker Series. Tickets for Thursday’s talk are $16 for students and range from $32 to $40 for adults. Purchase online at raedoroughspeakerseries.org or visit the theater box office in downtown Livermore.
