When we think about climate change, we often focus on the effects that we can directly observe such as extreme weather events and catastrophic wildfires. Yet most of our planet is covered by ocean where the impacts of climate change have been more difficult to measure. Join Scripps physical oceanography professor Sarah Gille as she describes how oceanographers are using innovative technology to study our warming ocean. See how much and where it is changing, the implications of that warming and where that heat is coming from. Series: "Jeffrey B.

People with allergies know that daily weather determines symptoms. Dr. Katherine Gunding explores how climate change is contributing to higher pollen counts and longer pollen seasons. Also, mold allergens that can cause severe asthma and respiratory symptoms are seen with rising sea levels, after hurricanes or with increased humidity.

Throughout the US and around the world, extreme heat is on the rise. It's a trend that many of us have perceived even in our own lifetimes. We talk about how heat waves have gotten hotter, less bearable. Kristina Dahl, PhD Senior Climate Scientist, Union of Concerned Scientists, explains that extreme heat already presents serious dangers to our health and livelihoods. She looks at data and talks about the future. Series: "Osher WISE: Well-being and Integrative Science for Everyone" [Health and Medicine] [Science] [Show ID: 35980]
