"content": "\u003cp>Two state agencies on Wednesday cleared the Aliso Canyon gas storage field to resume operations, while the same afternoon Gov. Jerry Brown called for it to eventually close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's an odd juxtaposition of different state entities acting simultaneously on the controversial gas storage field, where a well ruptured in late 2015 and \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/porter-ranch/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drove thousands of people from their homes\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The well could soon resume operations, according to a joint announcement by officials of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the state Department of Conservation's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in a letter dated Wednesday, State Energy Commission Chairman Robert B. Weisenmiller said, \"Governor Brown has asked me to plan for the permanent closure of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and I urge the California Public Utilities Commission to do the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news came in Weisenmiller's\u003ca href=\"http://www.energy.ca.gov/releases/2017_releases/2017-07-19-energy-commission-chair-releases-letter-ailso-canyon_nr.pdf\"> letter to PUC chairman Michael Picker.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My staff is prepared to work with the CPUC and other agencies on a plan to phase out the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility within 10 years,\" Weisenmiller said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"jfWf3vPxxOvZYX0b57AIwdgire5d2iMD\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.conservation.ca.gov/dog/Documents/Aliso/OrderfromStateOilandGasSupervisor.pdf\">PUC and DOGGR order\u003c/a> was something that Southern California Gas Co. has long awaited, coming months after it completed an extensive safety overhaul of its Aliso Canyon gas storage field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PUC/DOGGR decision means SoCal Gas is cleared to resume injecting gas into the underground gas reservoir and draw it out to serve customers. After a gas well ruptured in October 2015, the state ordered the gas level to be drawn down and it placed a moratorium on refilling the field until extensive safety upgrades and inspections were completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoCal Gas will not immediately resume injecting gas into the field, said company spokesman Chris Gilbride in an emailed statement. First, the company is required to conduct overflights with instruments that measure the amount of methane coming off the field before injections begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We estimate it could be a week or two to resume operation of the field,\" said Timothy Sullivan, executive director of the Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan said Weisenmiller's call for Aliso to be closed is just one element of many that will go into the PUC's eventual decision whether to permit it to remain open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Operations at the field will be different from before the gas well blowout, though. The company must keep the volume and pressure of gas at less than one-third of what it was in October 2015 when a gas well ruptured, causing the nation's largest recorded uncontrolled natural gas leak, the state agencies ordered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas field, when operating at full capacity, can hold 86 billion cubic feet of gas that can be withdrawn for customers. Under the new rules, the field could hold just 23.6 billion cubic feet. That amount is what state energy officials calculate is enough gas to avoid a shortage when demand peaks on the state's hottest or coldest weather streaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"okUlrKv69H5JYkIwkwtqufKhBFs4FZbc\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had repeatedly stated that the moratorium on operations at the gas field could put the region at risk of a gas shortage and power outages on hot days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, there is enough gas moving through the SoCal Gas network of pipelines to serve homes and businesses, as well as large users like gas-fired power plants. However, when the amount of gas those plants order is less than what they use, SoCal Gas draws the extra from storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the storage field stalled, the company warned power outages could occur if gas demand peaked on hot or cold days. The energy industry responded to the lack of storage by adopting much more careful rules for ordering and using gas. No gas shortage-related outages occurred since the moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An independent research firm is still analyzing the cause of the gas well break. A state inquiry required by a law passed last year requires the state Legislature to conduct an assessment of the long-term viability of all natural gas storage facilities in California, including the Aliso Canyon field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoCal Gas said the Aliso field is necessary for the region’s energy reliability and that the safety overhaul of the gas field means it now meets or exceeds state requirements, Gilbride said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11577804\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11577804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"A SoCalGas worker at the company's Aliso Canyon Storage Facility\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-1020x637.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-1180x737.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-960x600.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-240x150.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-375x234.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-520x325.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A SoCalGas worker at the company's Aliso Canyon Storage Facility \u003ccite>(Courtesy SoCalGas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the key changes was to limit the movement of gas in and out of the field through only the center tubing of each well. Previously, it moved gas through the center tubing as well as the doughnut-shaped space between that tubing and the well casing.

After a gas well ruptured in October 2015, the state ordered the gas level to be drawn down and it placed a moratorium on refilling the field until extensive safety upgrades and inspections were completed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoCal Gas will not immediately resume injecting gas into the field, said company spokesman Chris Gilbride in an emailed statement. First, the company is required to conduct overflights with instruments that measure the amount of methane coming off the field before injections begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We estimate it could be a week or two to resume operation of the field,\" said Timothy Sullivan, executive director of the Public Utilities Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sullivan said Weisenmiller's call for Aliso to be closed is just one element of many that will go into the PUC's eventual decision whether to permit it to remain open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Operations at the field will be different from before the gas well blowout, though. The company must keep the volume and pressure of gas at less than one-third of what it was in October 2015 when a gas well ruptured, causing the nation's largest recorded uncontrolled natural gas leak, the state agencies ordered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gas field, when operating at full capacity, can hold 86 billion cubic feet of gas that can be withdrawn for customers. Under the new rules, the field could hold just 23.6 billion cubic feet. That amount is what state energy officials calculate is enough gas to avoid a shortage when demand peaks on the state's hottest or coldest weather streaks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company had repeatedly stated that the moratorium on operations at the gas field could put the region at risk of a gas shortage and power outages on hot days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Normally, there is enough gas moving through the SoCal Gas network of pipelines to serve homes and businesses, as well as large users like gas-fired power plants. However, when the amount of gas those plants order is less than what they use, SoCal Gas draws the extra from storage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the storage field stalled, the company warned power outages could occur if gas demand peaked on hot or cold days. The energy industry responded to the lack of storage by adopting much more careful rules for ordering and using gas. No gas shortage-related outages occurred since the moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An independent research firm is still analyzing the cause of the gas well break. A state inquiry required by a law passed last year requires the state Legislature to conduct an assessment of the long-term viability of all natural gas storage facilities in California, including the Aliso Canyon field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SoCal Gas said the Aliso field is necessary for the region’s energy reliability and that the safety overhaul of the gas field means it now meets or exceeds state requirements, Gilbride said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11577804\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11577804\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-800x500.jpg\" alt=\"A SoCalGas worker at the company's Aliso Canyon Storage Facility\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-800x500.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-160x100.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-1020x637.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-1180x737.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-960x600.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-240x150.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-375x234.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/AlisoWorker-520x325.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A SoCalGas worker at the company's Aliso Canyon Storage Facility \u003ccite>(Courtesy SoCalGas)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the key changes was to limit the movement of gas in and out of the field through only the center tubing of each well.

Near the San Clemente coast, local lifeguard Rod Mellott drove up on a jet ski. He wore a headset to communicate with the pilot of an Orange County Sheriff’s Department helicopter flying overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s helicopter has become a key ally in Lowe’s research and in efforts to keep OC beaches safe for swimmers. It’s much easier to spot the outline of a shark from the sky on a sunny day than to scan the water for fins at sea level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, Lowe said, the increasing number of tourist boats out looking for sharks may be starting to spook them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to see them, which is great, but they are kind of harassing the sharks,” he said, adding that he hoped his research might lead to guidelines for responsible shark watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe pulled on a wetsuit, attached a tag to the end of a spear and got on the back of the jet ski. He and Mellott headed a few hundred yards closer to shore and then we all turned south to troll for sharks. We scanned the water while the helicopter above did several laps up and down the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing. Not a single shark, even though there were multiple sightings around San Clemente the previous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the trip wasn’t a total bust: On the way back to Dana Point Harbor, we stopped at a buoy -- just outside of the designated swim zone at Doheny State Beach -- to check on one of Lowe's receivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe swam out to the buoy, detached a canister holding the device, then swam back to the boat and transferred the data to a laptop computer. Lowe’s research assistant, Echelle Burns, pulled up a graph showing dozens of blips, color-coded to represent individual, tagged sharks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scrolling through the data, Burns announced that the most recent detection was just a few hours before we passed by the same location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In all, 17 tagged white sharks had swum by the buoy a cumulative 1,125 times in the previous two weeks. That means they’re hanging out in the area.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nFollow the movement of tagged sharks and other fish at \u003ca href=\"http://scattn.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scattn.org\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11568134\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11568134\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-800x532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full-520x346.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/164346-full.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shark researcher Chris Lowe of California State University, Long Beach swims to a buoy to attach a device that collects information from sharks that the team has tagged for a research project on shark behavior near Dana Point, June 28, 2017. \u003ccite>(Andrew Cullen for KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When Life Gives You No Sharks, Ask Questions Instead\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All these sharks hanging out together, does that make them a school? I asked Lowe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Technically, no,” he said. “They’re not that close together, but they do use the same general area. We’re not sure if there’s a social component or whether they’re all seeking out the same conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the latter is more likely. Historical fishing data show that there are at least four juvenile white shark “hot spots” in Southern California: Ventura/Oxnard, Santa Monica Bay, Huntington Beach and the stretch between Dana Point and San Onofre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lowe hasn’t yet been able to determine from his research what makes young white sharks pick one area one year and another the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the summertime hot spot for baby sharks seems to be Ventura, Lowe said, and for juveniles (1- to 3-year-olds), it's Belmont Shore in Long Beach and between Dana Point and San Clemente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, Lowe said, the young sharks seem to be attracted by the warm coastal waters (juvenile sharks can’t handle cold temperatures the way adult sharks can), the lack of predators, like orcas and other big sharks, and abundant food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number one thing we’ve found in baby white sharks’ stomachs are stingrays,” Lowe said. \"And stingrays are super abundant in Southern California. Their numbers have been going up over the last 50 years because we got rid of all the coastal predators.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe said the increased number of sharks we’re seeing this year is an ecological success story: Decades ago, we started to protect white sharks and the marine mammals that adult sharks feed on, and now there are more of both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t just say we want to have marine mammals, but we don’t want to have sharks. We need them to have a healthy ecosystem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe suspects that the sharks’ behavior might be changing because of rising ocean temperatures and changing climate patterns. The young sharks that usually migrate in the winter from Southern California to Baja haven’t done so in the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had weird oceanographic conditions this past winter,” Lowe said. \"It started to get cold, then all of a sudden a warm slug of water moved in close to shore again, so it's possible they started to move to Baja, got halfway there and then conditions changed, and they thought, 'Ok, maybe I should stay.' We just don’t know the answer to those questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe hopes to get at some of these questions by tagging sharks and tracking their movements and behaviors. But right now he’s sort of a victim of his own -- and the sharks’ -- success: It’s barely the beginning of prime research season, and he’s pretty much out of tags and out of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11568136\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11568136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Lowe, director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach, releases a juvenile white shark off Belmont Shore in spring 2017 after successfully affixing a smart tag to its dorsal fin. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sharing the Waves\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe hopes the high demand for his research -- especially from local beaches wanting to keep visitors safe -- will translate into more resources to fund his work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, he's constantly reminding the public that the likelihood of being attacked by a shark is extremely slim -- much less than the chance of dying in a car accident on the way to the beach, he told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do see a shark, consider yourself lucky, he said.

Near the San Clemente coast, local lifeguard Rod Mellott drove up on a jet ski. He wore a headset to communicate with the pilot of an Orange County Sheriff’s Department helicopter flying overhead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s helicopter has become a key ally in Lowe’s research and in efforts to keep OC beaches safe for swimmers. It’s much easier to spot the outline of a shark from the sky on a sunny day than to scan the water for fins at sea level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus, Lowe said, the increasing number of tourist boats out looking for sharks may be starting to spook them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to see them, which is great, but they are kind of harassing the sharks,” he said, adding that he hoped his research might lead to guidelines for responsible shark watching.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe pulled on a wetsuit, attached a tag to the end of a spear and got on the back of the jet ski. He and Mellott headed a few hundred yards closer to shore and then we all turned south to troll for sharks. We scanned the water while the helicopter above did several laps up and down the coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing. Not a single shark, even though there were multiple sightings around San Clemente the previous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the trip wasn’t a total bust: On the way back to Dana Point Harbor, we stopped at a buoy -- just outside of the designated swim zone at Doheny State Beach -- to check on one of Lowe's receivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe swam out to the buoy, detached a canister holding the device, then swam back to the boat and transferred the data to a laptop computer.

I asked Lowe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Technically, no,” he said. “They’re not that close together, but they do use the same general area. We’re not sure if there’s a social component or whether they’re all seeking out the same conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He thinks the latter is more likely. Historical fishing data show that there are at least four juvenile white shark “hot spots” in Southern California: Ventura/Oxnard, Santa Monica Bay, Huntington Beach and the stretch between Dana Point and San Onofre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Lowe hasn’t yet been able to determine from his research what makes young white sharks pick one area one year and another the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the summertime hot spot for baby sharks seems to be Ventura, Lowe said, and for juveniles (1- to 3-year-olds), it's Belmont Shore in Long Beach and between Dana Point and San Clemente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally, Lowe said, the young sharks seem to be attracted by the warm coastal waters (juvenile sharks can’t handle cold temperatures the way adult sharks can), the lack of predators, like orcas and other big sharks, and abundant food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The number one thing we’ve found in baby white sharks’ stomachs are stingrays,” Lowe said. \"And stingrays are super abundant in Southern California. Their numbers have been going up over the last 50 years because we got rid of all the coastal predators.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe said the increased number of sharks we’re seeing this year is an ecological success story: Decades ago, we started to protect white sharks and the marine mammals that adult sharks feed on, and now there are more of both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t just say we want to have marine mammals, but we don’t want to have sharks. We need them to have a healthy ecosystem,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe suspects that the sharks’ behavior might be changing because of rising ocean temperatures and changing climate patterns. The young sharks that usually migrate in the winter from Southern California to Baja haven’t done so in the past few years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had weird oceanographic conditions this past winter,” Lowe said. \"It started to get cold, then all of a sudden a warm slug of water moved in close to shore again, so it's possible they started to move to Baja, got halfway there and then conditions changed, and they thought, 'Ok, maybe I should stay.' We just don’t know the answer to those questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe hopes to get at some of these questions by tagging sharks and tracking their movements and behaviors. But right now he’s sort of a victim of his own -- and the sharks’ -- success: It’s barely the beginning of prime research season, and he’s pretty much out of tags and out of money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11568136\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11568136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full.jpg 1024w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/165428-full-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Lowe, director of the Shark Lab at California State University, Long Beach, releases a juvenile white shark off Belmont Shore in spring 2017 after successfully affixing a smart tag to its dorsal fin. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of the Cal State Long Beach Shark Lab)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sharing the Waves\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lowe hopes the high demand for his research -- especially from local beaches wanting to keep visitors safe -- will translate into more resources to fund his work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, he's constantly reminding the public that the likelihood of being attacked by a shark is extremely slim -- much less than the chance of dying in a car accident on the way to the beach, he told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you do see a shark, consider yourself lucky, he said.

"content": "\u003cp>Downtown Los Angeles hit 98 degrees on Saturday, breaking a temperature record that stood for 131 years -- and the number of extremely hot days is expected to triple by mid-century. That’s why L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti wants to lower the urban heat island effect 3 degrees by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most big cities, Los Angeles literally creates its own climate. Buildings and asphalt absorb and radiate heat, raising summer temperatures by as much as 19 degrees in some parts of the region. According to CalEPA, L.A. has the worst urban heat island effect of any region in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excessive heat is deadly. Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, difficulty breathing, cramping and general discomfort killed more people between 1979 and 2003 than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/heat-islands/heat-island-impacts#health\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heat is the greatest weather-related public health threat,” said David Fink, director of policy at Climate Resolve, which works on urban heat issues in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. is one of just two major cities worldwide with a \u003ca href=\"http://plan.lamayor.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/the-plan.pdf\">temperature reduction target\u003c/a> (the other is Melbourne). Outlined earlier this year by Mayor Garcetti, there are three main components of the plan: replace roofs with less heat-absorbent roofing materials, repave or repaint city streets to make them more reflective and plant more trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beginning in 2014, L.A. has had a “cool roofs” \u003ca href=\"https://www.ladbs.org/docs/default-source/publications/ordinances/cool-roof-fact-sheet-and-faq.pdf?sfvrsn=10\">ordinance\u003c/a>, which requires anyone building a new roof or replacing more than half of an existing roof to do so with reflective shingles. Garcetti set a goal of having 10,000 cool roofs installed by the end of 2017. So far, the city estimates there are 8,000. L.A. Department of Water and Power offers rebates of up to 30 cents per square foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the city is not compelling people to rip out their roofs, and because homeowners do not regularly replace roofs, it's likely to take a quarter-century to shift all the roofs in the city to the new, reflective material, Fink said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11564231\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11564231\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"City employees paint a section of Beachy Ave in Pacoima a light gray on June 3, 2017 as part of a pilot project to test out 'cool pavement.' \" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-800x546.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-160x109.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-1180x805.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-960x655.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-240x164.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-375x256.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-520x355.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">City employees paint a section of Beachy Avenue in Pacoima a light gray on June 3, 2017, as part of a pilot project to test out 'cool pavement.' \u003ccite>(L.A. Bureau of Street Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In late May, the Bureau of Street Services painted one block of Jordan Avenue in Canoga Park with a cool, gray paint. The bureau had previously tested out the paint on the Balboa Sports Complex in the San Fernando Valley to make sure cars wouldn't skid and people wouldn’t slip, but the Jordan Avenue test was the first application on a street surface in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city has painted seven other blocks throughout West and South L.A. and elsewhere in the valley. The goal is to paint a block in all 15 council districts by the end of the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A.'s cool pavement program is not as far along as cool roof deployment, because the technology is much less advanced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very slow-moving industry,” said Greg Spotts, assistant director of the Bureau of Street Services. \"The materials used today to build and maintain streets are the same ones used in World War II.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"FcFS5F1vkSaafc0Db7lATUHDo4DOE1UW\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spotts said cool pavement was likely going to play a major part in L.A. meeting its temperature goals because the city has control over street surfaces -- unlike rooftops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this reason, streets and trees are likely to be much easier areas in which to make progress, according to Fink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa had a goal of planting 1 million trees (he got to 426,000 by March 2014). Mayor Garcetti, who doesn't share that numerical goal, has renamed the initiative “City Plants.” His administration has planted just over 58,000 trees so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink, whose organization worked with the city on the cool roofs ordinance, said the mayor’s office could set a target for tree planting and be more strategic about where trees go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tree-planting is clearly effective at reducing urban heat. According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/latree/saatchi.html\">a UCLA study,\u003c/a> city blocks with more than 30 percent tree cover can be up to 5 degrees cooler than those with less tree cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By lowering summertime temperatures, trees also help reduce energy used by running air conditioners, netting a savings of up to $119 million, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr207/psw_gtr207.pdf\">according to the U.S. Forest Service\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That’s why L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti wants to lower the urban heat island effect 3 degrees by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like most big cities, Los Angeles literally creates its own climate. Buildings and asphalt absorb and radiate heat, raising summer temperatures by as much as 19 degrees in some parts of the region. According to CalEPA, L.A. has the worst urban heat island effect of any region in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excessive heat is deadly. Heat stroke, heat exhaustion, difficulty breathing, cramping and general discomfort killed more people between 1979 and 2003 than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.epa.gov/heat-islands/heat-island-impacts#health\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Heat is the greatest weather-related public health threat,” said David Fink, director of policy at Climate Resolve, which works on urban heat issues in L.A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. is one of just two major cities worldwide with a \u003ca href=\"http://plan.lamayor.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/the-plan.pdf\">temperature reduction target\u003c/a> (the other is Melbourne). Outlined earlier this year by Mayor Garcetti, there are three main components of the plan: replace roofs with less heat-absorbent roofing materials, repave or repaint city streets to make them more reflective and plant more trees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Garcetti set a goal of having 10,000 cool roofs installed by the end of 2017. So far, the city estimates there are 8,000. L.A. Department of Water and Power offers rebates of up to 30 cents per square foot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the city is not compelling people to rip out their roofs, and because homeowners do not regularly replace roofs, it's likely to take a quarter-century to shift all the roofs in the city to the new, reflective material, Fink said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11564231\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11564231\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-800x546.jpg\" alt=\"City employees paint a section of Beachy Ave in Pacoima a light gray on June 3, 2017 as part of a pilot project to test out 'cool pavement.' \" width=\"800\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-800x546.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-160x109.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-1020x696.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-1180x805.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-960x655.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-240x164.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-375x256.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/GrayStreet-520x355.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">City employees paint a section of Beachy Avenue in Pacoima a light gray on June 3, 2017, as part of a pilot project to test out 'cool pavement.' \u003ccite>(L.A. Bureau of Street Services)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In late May, the Bureau of Street Services painted one block of Jordan Avenue in Canoga Park with a cool, gray paint. The bureau had previously tested out the paint on the Balboa Sports Complex in the San Fernando Valley to make sure cars wouldn't skid and people wouldn’t slip, but the Jordan Avenue test was the first application on a street surface in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the city has painted seven other blocks throughout West and South L.A. and elsewhere in the valley. The goal is to paint a block in all 15 council districts by the end of the summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A.'s cool pavement program is not as far along as cool roof deployment, because the technology is much less advanced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very slow-moving industry,” said Greg Spotts, assistant director of the Bureau of Street Services. \"The materials used today to build and maintain streets are the same ones used in World War II.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spotts said cool pavement was likely going to play a major part in L.A. meeting its temperature goals because the city has control over street surfaces -- unlike rooftops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For this reason, streets and trees are likely to be much easier areas in which to make progress, according to Fink.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa had a goal of planting 1 million trees (he got to 426,000 by March 2014). Mayor Garcetti, who doesn't share that numerical goal, has renamed the initiative “City Plants.” His administration has planted just over 58,000 trees so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fink, whose organization worked with the city on the cool roofs ordinance, said the mayor’s office could set a target for tree planting and be more strategic about where trees go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But tree-planting is clearly effective at reducing urban heat. According to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/geog/latree/saatchi.html\">a UCLA study,\u003c/a> city blocks with more than 30 percent tree cover can be up to 5 degrees cooler than those with less tree cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By lowering summertime temperatures, trees also help reduce energy used by running air conditioners, netting a savings of up to $119 million, \u003ca href=\"https://www.fs.fed.us/psw/publications/documents/psw_gtr207/psw_gtr207.pdf\">according to the U.S. Forest Service\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In that work, she saw firsthand as overwhelmed residents struggled to deal with the pressures of caring for patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these residents were inconsolable. I would see them and they would pull me into an empty room and just sob,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez’ job is to make sure physicians, especially new ones, are developing health habits to deal with that stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, these issues aren’t new to medicine. She said the profession has a tradition of a certain mindset of infallibility and self-sacrifice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Physicians have no needs, should not talk about emotions, should never complain. … When we have people to subscribe to that, it’s a quick recipe for burnout,” said Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnout is more than fatigue. It can be dangerous. \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2467822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One study reported in 2015 in JAMA Psychiatry\u003c/a> found that 23 percent of first-year residents had suicidal thoughts.

They’re encouraged not to work when they’re overly fatigued and to take time during the day to handle their own medical appointments. If they work on charts at home, they’re instructed to count those hours toward their maximum 80-hour workweek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a recognition that physicians are human beings, and that we get tired, we get sad, we have problems in our social lives, just the way anyone else does,” said Dr. Daniel Giang, Loma Linda’s head of graduate education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, first-year residents will be allowed to work 24-hour shifts. That’s an increase from the 16 hours they’ve been limited to since 2011. The longer shift puts their hours on par with older residents. The decision was based on research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A 16-hour limitation did not make it any safer for patients that we could determine,” Giang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giang said residents didn’t report more satisfaction with the shorter shifts either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For D’Artagnan DeBow, a fifth-year surgical resident, long shifts are part of on-the-job training for new doctors, some of whom haven’t had a job before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they’re working 80 hours and working a 24-[hour] shift on a Friday night with a busy trauma service, and going to the operating room and taking care of sick patients on the floor. You have to be able to triage your time appropriately,” said DeBow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an administrator, Giang sees the change in hours as a way to keep teams with different levels of experience together.

You’re finding that you’re losing interest in life and you’re going through things in a mechanical way,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over her career, Tinsley has seen doctors develop these weak coping behaviors. That’s why some of them have a poor bedside manner. She’s training physicians to be alert to those risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having Tinsley and others to talk to has made a big difference for Dr. Silva. He said he’s living a healthier lifestyle this year than he did in his first year of residency and his program has been a big support in this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you came in with no anxiety, no depression, and you’re leaving with depression and anxiety, that’s not going to do anyone any good, whether it be the physician or the patients that they take care of,” said Silva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loma Linda administrators say that’s the point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly very important to medical educators at all levels trying to decide, how can we help residents and medical students and junior physicians and even senior physicians take care of their health better, realize that’s part of their professional responsibility, to present themselves ready to give their best in caring for their patients,” said administrator Giang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wants to make sure residents are doing their best for the patients they are treating both now and 15 years in the future.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In that work, she saw firsthand as overwhelmed residents struggled to deal with the pressures of caring for patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of these residents were inconsolable. I would see them and they would pull me into an empty room and just sob,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez’ job is to make sure physicians, especially new ones, are developing health habits to deal with that stress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, these issues aren’t new to medicine. She said the profession has a tradition of a certain mindset of infallibility and self-sacrifice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Physicians have no needs, should not talk about emotions, should never complain. … When we have people to subscribe to that, it’s a quick recipe for burnout,” said Hernandez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnout is more than fatigue. It can be dangerous. \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2467822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One study reported in 2015 in JAMA Psychiatry\u003c/a> found that 23 percent of first-year residents had suicidal thoughts. They can have high rates of other depressive symptoms, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guidelines from the Accreditation Council aim to address this by making sure physicians have flexibility in their busy schedules. They’re encouraged not to work when they’re overly fatigued and to take time during the day to handle their own medical appointments. If they work on charts at home, they’re instructed to count those hours toward their maximum 80-hour workweek.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a recognition that physicians are human beings, and that we get tired, we get sad, we have problems in our social lives, just the way anyone else does,” said Dr. Daniel Giang, Loma Linda’s head of graduate education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, first-year residents will be allowed to work 24-hour shifts. That’s an increase from the 16 hours they’ve been limited to since 2011. The longer shift puts their hours on par with older residents. The decision was based on research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A 16-hour limitation did not make it any safer for patients that we could determine,” Giang said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giang said residents didn’t report more satisfaction with the shorter shifts either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For D’Artagnan DeBow, a fifth-year surgical resident, long shifts are part of on-the-job training for new doctors, some of whom haven’t had a job before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now they’re working 80 hours and working a 24-[hour] shift on a Friday night with a busy trauma service, and going to the operating room and taking care of sick patients on the floor. You have to be able to triage your time appropriately,” said DeBow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an administrator, Giang sees the change in hours as a way to keep teams with different levels of experience together. He wants residents to find a work-life balance with the help of attending physicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11549705\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11549705\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Attending physician Cynthia Tinsley on call at the Loma Linda University Medical Center.\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-1020x683.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-1180x790.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-960x643.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-240x161.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/07/DrCynthia-520x348.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Attending physician Cynthia Tinsley on call at the Loma Linda University Medical Center. \u003ccite>(Daryl Barker/KPCC)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dr. Cynthia Tinsley’s dual role comes into play here. She makes sure the residents she supervises understand the medicine they practice, but she also serves as someone they can seek out when they need help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tinsley includes wellness in her curriculum, teaching the residents coping strategies for stress and the warning signs to watch for when it’s time to seek help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the common things is when you have anger management issues, when you’re finding that you’re seeking alcohol — ‘I need a drink.’ If you’re not sleeping well, if you’re not eating well. You’re finding that you’re losing interest in life and you’re going through things in a mechanical way,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over her career, Tinsley has seen doctors develop these weak coping behaviors. That’s why some of them have a poor bedside manner. She’s training physicians to be alert to those risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having Tinsley and others to talk to has made a big difference for Dr. Silva. He said he’s living a healthier lifestyle this year than he did in his first year of residency and his program has been a big support in this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you came in with no anxiety, no depression, and you’re leaving with depression and anxiety, that’s not going to do anyone any good, whether it be the physician or the patients that they take care of,” said Silva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loma Linda administrators say that’s the point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly very important to medical educators at all levels trying to decide, how can we help residents and medical students and junior physicians and even senior physicians take care of their health better, realize that’s part of their professional responsibility, to present themselves ready to give their best in caring for their patients,” said administrator Giang.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The series was produced in collaboration with reporters from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KPBS\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.scpr.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KPCC\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CALmatters\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Admissions officials at Cal State Long Beach were struck recently when they got their latest batch of applications on April 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there was a slight increase in the number of undergraduate applications received, the decline in graduate applications from some countries was in the double digits: 42 percent drop from India, 9 percent drop from China and a 24 percent drop from Iran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly that number is significant, and we didn’t anticipate that large of a drop in those applications for graduate studies,” said Terrence Graham, the campus’s executive director of International Programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”2NqWOgOwUWg1S13hNMm3jiGnYWGf753U”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California State University Fullerton and UC Riverside are seeing similar drops, also from some of the same countries. The University of California \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2017/fall-2017-applications-table2.1-v2.pdf\">saw a drop systemwide\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graham says his staff heard from applicants wanting to know about violence toward foreigners and about White House policies that could make it harder for them to get a job in the U.S. after graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did get emails from concerned students from India saying, ‘Should I finish my application? Is there any point in me planning to come?'” Graham said. “We have heard from students from Iran[…] concerns certainly there with a lot of the rhetoric about [President Trump’s travel ban].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The application decline could be an early warning to higher education institutions about enrollment declines that could dampen the amount of tuition they collect each year. Many international students enroll in engineering and business majors. College administrators say these American industries could be weakened as colleges graduate fewer professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The workforce will be impacted [because] we have relied on foreign-born American-educated graduates in industry and in the faculty ranks in the academy.’\u003ccite>Forouzan Golshani, dean of the College of Engineering, Cal State Long Beach\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Seventy percent of the graduate students in engineering at Cal State Long Beach are international students. Some of them echo the concerns heard by university staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manoj Sampangi Ram — a native of Bangalore, India — is in the first year of the engineering master’s program that teaches students how to design and manufacture parts for industries such as aerospace. In the fall he talked to friends in India who wanted to follow in his footsteps at an American university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Trump won they all backed out. Because his rules are very strict, H-1B for students,” Sampangi Ram said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s talking about the visa that allows foreigners to stay and work in the U.S. for a limited amount of time. President Trump has pledged to enact limits on the H-1B visa, and that worries Sampangi Ram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”KF8SIyRMjI2iMXINUdUmnzz4XAmKLXVT”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The application drop at Cal State Long Beach appears to also be happening at campuses in different parts of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers released results of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aacrao.org/docs/default-source/TrendTopic/Immigration/final-report.pdf?sfvrsn=0\">a survey of 294 college admission officials.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 40 percent of the institutions represented in the survey reported a drop in applications from international students. According to the report, there are more than 100,000 students from the Middle East enrolled in U.S. higher education, while nearly half a million students from China and India study here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey, students who want to study in U.S. universities said they’re concerned that U.S. embassies and consulates will deny them student visas and that the U.S. is becoming less welcoming to foreigners. They also worry the U.S. government will modify visas to restrict travel and employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results, the association said, are early warnings of potential declines rather than definitive proof that fewer students from abroad will enroll in U.S. universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”RficXbjs0VeVRdiHVBPo6xtfdUoLZASx”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Cal State Long Beach, officials said a drop in foreign student enrollment could reduce class offerings and mean fewer graduates in careers that are key to the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The workforce will be impacted much more significantly,” said Forouzan Golshani, dean of the College of Engineering. “The reason is that we have relied on foreign-born American-educated graduates in industry and in the faculty ranks in the academy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, he said, so few American-born public school students pursue advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If foreign applications continue to drop, Golshani said, American public schools will need to do a better job getting students interested in science, technology, engineering and math careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State Long Beach’s international student office has decided to take action on a couple of fronts. They’ve \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCZPm-4_Hc\">created videos\u003c/a> to send overseas applicants the message that Southern California is a tolerant place where they are welcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCZPm-4_Hc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This campus has nearly 2,000 students from abroad earning a degree, one of the highest number among all 23 Cal State universities. International students pay about double in tuition and fees compared to a California resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter the expected drop in international student enrollment, Cal State Long Beach is sending recruiters to places they rarely go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Latin America, for example, looking at Africa, looking at some other regions that we might not have been putting as many resources into so that we’re less susceptible to those political ups and downs that are part of this business,” said executive director Terrence Graham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even in those countries, he said, his staff will likely get similar questions about whether it’s safe to study in the U.S. and whether government policies will allow them to stay and work after graduation.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Is there any point in me planning to come?'” Graham said. “We have heard from students from Iran[…] concerns certainly there with a lot of the rhetoric about [President Trump’s travel ban].”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The application decline could be an early warning to higher education institutions about enrollment declines that could dampen the amount of tuition they collect each year. Many international students enroll in engineering and business majors. College administrators say these American industries could be weakened as colleges graduate fewer professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The workforce will be impacted [because] we have relied on foreign-born American-educated graduates in industry and in the faculty ranks in the academy.’\u003ccite>Forouzan Golshani, dean of the College of Engineering, Cal State Long Beach\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Seventy percent of the graduate students in engineering at Cal State Long Beach are international students.

In the fall he talked to friends in India who wanted to follow in his footsteps at an American university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Trump won they all backed out. Because his rules are very strict, H-1B for students,” Sampangi Ram said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s talking about the visa that allows foreigners to stay and work in the U.S. for a limited amount of time. President Trump has pledged to enact limits on the H-1B visa, and that worries Sampangi Ram.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The application drop at Cal State Long Beach appears to also be happening at campuses in different parts of the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April, the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers released results of \u003ca href=\"http://www.aacrao.org/docs/default-source/TrendTopic/Immigration/final-report.pdf?sfvrsn=0\">a survey of 294 college admission officials.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 40 percent of the institutions represented in the survey reported a drop in applications from international students. According to the report, there are more than 100,000 students from the Middle East enrolled in U.S. higher education, while nearly half a million students from China and India study here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the survey, students who want to study in U.S. universities said they’re concerned that U.S. embassies and consulates will deny them student visas and that the U.S. is becoming less welcoming to foreigners. They also worry the U.S. government will modify visas to restrict travel and employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results, the association said, are early warnings of potential declines rather than definitive proof that fewer students from abroad will enroll in U.S. universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Cal State Long Beach, officials said a drop in foreign student enrollment could reduce class offerings and mean fewer graduates in careers that are key to the U.S. economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The workforce will be impacted much more significantly,” said Forouzan Golshani, dean of the College of Engineering. “The reason is that we have relied on foreign-born American-educated graduates in industry and in the faculty ranks in the academy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, he said, so few American-born public school students pursue advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If foreign applications continue to drop, Golshani said, American public schools will need to do a better job getting students interested in science, technology, engineering and math careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State Long Beach’s international student office has decided to take action on a couple of fronts. They’ve \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlCZPm-4_Hc\">created videos\u003c/a> to send overseas applicants the message that Southern California is a tolerant place where they are welcome.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/FlCZPm-4_Hc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/FlCZPm-4_Hc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>This campus has nearly 2,000 students from abroad earning a degree, one of the highest number among all 23 Cal State universities. International students pay about double in tuition and fees compared to a California resident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counter the expected drop in international student enrollment, Cal State Long Beach is sending recruiters to places they rarely go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Latin America, for example, looking at Africa, looking at some other regions that we might not have been putting as many resources into so that we’re less susceptible to those political ups and downs that are part of this business,” said executive director Terrence Graham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even in those countries, he said, his staff will likely get similar questions about whether it’s safe to study in the U.S. and whether government policies will allow them to stay and work after graduation.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
