I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>A team of Russian and American scientists is attracting worldwide attention with a paper that finds that Japan's devastating March earthquake was preceded by marked atmospheric changes near the quake's epicenter immediately before it struck. The finding is the latest in more than a decade of research looking into the possibility that stresses in the Earth's crust before a major quake may be connected to pronounced changes in the atmosphere from the surface to its uppermost layers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spoiler alert:\u003c/strong> This does not mean scientists have found a way to predict earthquakes. Yet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1105/1105.2841.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">preliminary (non-peer-reviewed) paper \u003c/a>released this week in Vienna, the team working in Southern California, Maryland, and several Russian institutions said that a rise in atmospheric temperatures was recorded over the epicenter of the Tohoku earthquake, just off the northeast coast of the island of Honshu, in the days immediately before the 9.0 shake occurred on March 11. The quake and subsequent tsunami killed 24,000 people in Japan and caused damage in much of the Pacific basin. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers are led by \u003ca href=\"http://www.chapman.edu/SCS/EES/faculty/ouzonov.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Dimitar Ouzounov\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of earth sciences at Southern California's Chapman University who also works at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Ouzounov has collaborated with others on several other papers that have documented anomalies in atmospheric conditions near quake epicenters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mendeley.com/research/achtergronden-van-ontwikkeling-van-het-lager-onderwijs-en-van-schoolstrijd-nederland-18621905-een-poging-tot-sociaalhistorische-analyse-vrijheid-van-onderwijs-marges-het-onderwijs-maatschappelijk-perspectief-l-box-j-dronkers/\" target=\"_blank\">One paper documents \u003c/a>rising atmospheric temperatures before two California quakes in September 2004: a 6.0 quake near \u003ca href=\"http://www.parkfield.com/parkfield/\" target=\"_blank\">Parkfield\u003c/a>, on the San Andreas Fault northeast of Paso Robles, and a 5.5 tremor in \u003ca href=\"http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=509\" target=\"_blank\">Bodie\u003c/a>, north of Mono Lake. Ouzounov \u003ca href=\"http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0518/Japan-earthquake-Big-shallow-quakes-have-a-warning-signal-say-researchers\" target=\"_blank\">told the Christian Science Monitor \u003c/a> that he and his colleagues \"have crunched data for more than 100 quakes in Asia and Taiwan ... and have found similar correlations for earthquakes with magnitudes bigger than 5.5 and depths less than 31 miles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what exactly did the team find when they looked at the atmospheric data from the Tohoku earthquake region? In layperson's shorthand, air temperatures above the monster quake's epicenter area rose and the upper atmosphere went nuts with loose subatomic particles and escaping heat. That is, something caused temperatures to rise in the lower atmosphere; in the \u003ca href=\"http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ionosphere\" target=\"_blank\">ionosphere\u003c/a>, much higher up, an unusually high level of \u003ca href=\"http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/electron\" target=\"_blank\">electrons\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outgoing_longwave_radiation\" target=\"_blank\">outgoing long-wave radiation\u003c/a> were detected. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does that mean? Ouzounov et al. have seen this often enough to believe it could signal that seismic and tectonic processes--along faults that are about to rupture or at the boundaries of plates that are about to shift--have a direct linkage to these atmospheric changes. From Ouzounov's paper (citations omitted): \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nOne of the possible explanations for this relationship is the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling mechanism, which provides the physical links between the different geochemical, atmospheric and ionospheric variations and tectonic activity. Briefly, the primary process is the ionization of the air produced by an increased emanation of radon (and other gases) from the Earth’s crust in the vicinity of [an] active fault. The increased radon emanation launches the chain of physical processes,which leads to changes in the conductivity of the air and a latent heat release (increasing air temperature) due to water molecules attachment (condensation) to ions.\"\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Got that? If not, here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26773/?p1=Blogs\" target=\"_bllank\">a translation\u003c/a> from the arXiv blog at MIT's Technology Review: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The thinking is that in the days before an earthquake, the great stresses in a fault as it is about to give cause the releases large amounts of radon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The radioactivity from this gas ionises the air on a large scale and this has a number of knock on effects. Since water molecules are attracted to ions in the air, ionisation triggers the large scale condensation of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the process of condensation also releases heat and it is this that causes infrared emissions. \"Our first results show that on March 8th a rapid increase of emitted infrared radiation was observed from the satellite data,\" say Ouzounov and co.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These emissions go on to effect the ionosphere and its total electron content.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Not everyone buys that explanation of the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere mechanism. Here's an alternative theory\u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/scientists-may-have-found-quake-warning-signal-10363\" target=\"_blank\"> as reported today in California Watch\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Friedmann Freund, another NASA scientist and a researcher at San Jose State University, says the observed atmospheric changes have nothing to do with radon and other gases escaping from the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no evidence that links radon emanation closely with seismic or pre-seismic events,\" he said. \"There is another much more powerful, much more general and observationally supported process which causes massive air ionization, when stresses build up deep below earthquakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the electromagnetic changes are caused by extreme pressure on the rocks themselves. His theory is simple: If you squeeze a block of granite rock hard enough, it’ll become electrically active.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, Freund and others set up a laboratory experiment in which they squeezed a rock really hard, while detecting the emissions around it. As soon as pressure was applied to the rock, the electrical field around it changed.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>To get back to that spoiler at the top: The new Tohoku findings will naturally prompt excitement over the idea that scientists have found an atmospheric signal of some impending major earthquakes and thus a way to forecast them.

The finding is the latest in more than a decade of research looking into the possibility that stresses in the Earth's crust before a major quake may be connected to pronounced changes in the atmosphere from the surface to its uppermost layers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spoiler alert:\u003c/strong> This does not mean scientists have found a way to predict earthquakes.

The quake and subsequent tsunami killed 24,000 people in Japan and caused damage in much of the Pacific basin. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers are led by \u003ca href=\"http://www.chapman.edu/SCS/EES/faculty/ouzonov.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Dimitar Ouzounov\u003c/a>, an assistant professor of earth sciences at Southern California's Chapman University who also works at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Ouzounov has collaborated with others on several other papers that have documented anomalies in atmospheric conditions near quake epicenters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mendeley.com/research/achtergronden-van-ontwikkeling-van-het-lager-onderwijs-en-van-schoolstrijd-nederland-18621905-een-poging-tot-sociaalhistorische-analyse-vrijheid-van-onderwijs-marges-het-onderwijs-maatschappelijk-perspectief-l-box-j-dronkers/\" target=\"_blank\">One paper documents \u003c/a>rising atmospheric temperatures before two California quakes in September 2004: a 6.0 quake near \u003ca href=\"http://www.parkfield.com/parkfield/\" target=\"_blank\">Parkfield\u003c/a>, on the San Andreas Fault northeast of Paso Robles, and a 5.5 tremor in \u003ca href=\"http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=509\" target=\"_blank\">Bodie\u003c/a>, north of Mono Lake. Ouzounov \u003ca href=\"http://www.csmonitor.com/Science/2011/0518/Japan-earthquake-Big-shallow-quakes-have-a-warning-signal-say-researchers\" target=\"_blank\">told the Christian Science Monitor \u003c/a> that he and his colleagues \"have crunched data for more than 100 quakes in Asia and Taiwan ... and have found similar correlations for earthquakes with magnitudes bigger than 5.5 and depths less than 31 miles.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what exactly did the team find when they looked at the atmospheric data from the Tohoku earthquake region? In layperson's shorthand, air temperatures above the monster quake's epicenter area rose and the upper atmosphere went nuts with loose subatomic particles and escaping heat.

Ouzounov et al. have seen this often enough to believe it could signal that seismic and tectonic processes--along faults that are about to rupture or at the boundaries of plates that are about to shift--have a direct linkage to these atmospheric changes. From Ouzounov's paper (citations omitted): \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nOne of the possible explanations for this relationship is the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling mechanism, which provides the physical links between the different geochemical, atmospheric and ionospheric variations and tectonic activity. Briefly, the primary process is the ionization of the air produced by an increased emanation of radon (and other gases) from the Earth’s crust in the vicinity of [an] active fault. The increased radon emanation launches the chain of physical processes,which leads to changes in the conductivity of the air and a latent heat release (increasing air temperature) due to water molecules attachment (condensation) to ions.\"\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Got that? If not, here's \u003ca href=\"http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/26773/?p1=Blogs\" target=\"_bllank\">a translation\u003c/a> from the arXiv blog at MIT's Technology Review: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The thinking is that in the days before an earthquake, the great stresses in a fault as it is about to give cause the releases large amounts of radon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The radioactivity from this gas ionises the air on a large scale and this has a number of knock on effects. Since water molecules are attracted to ions in the air, ionisation triggers the large scale condensation of water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the process of condensation also releases heat and it is this that causes infrared emissions. \"Our first results show that on March 8th a rapid increase of emitted infrared radiation was observed from the satellite data,\" say Ouzounov and co.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These emissions go on to effect the ionosphere and its total electron content.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Not everyone buys that explanation of the lithosphere-atmosphere-ionosphere mechanism. Here's an alternative theory\u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/scientists-may-have-found-quake-warning-signal-10363\" target=\"_blank\"> as reported today in California Watch\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Friedmann Freund, another NASA scientist and a researcher at San Jose State University, says the observed atmospheric changes have nothing to do with radon and other gases escaping from the earth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no evidence that links radon emanation closely with seismic or pre-seismic events,\" he said. \"There is another much more powerful, much more general and observationally supported process which causes massive air ionization, when stresses build up deep below earthquakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says the electromagnetic changes are caused by extreme pressure on the rocks themselves. His theory is simple: If you squeeze a block of granite rock hard enough, it’ll become electrically active.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007, Freund and others set up a laboratory experiment in which they squeezed a rock really hard, while detecting the emissions around it. As soon as pressure was applied to the rock, the electrical field around it changed.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>To get back to that spoiler at the top: The new Tohoku findings will naturally prompt excitement over the idea that scientists have found an atmospheric signal of some impending major earthquakes and thus a way to forecast them. That idea has been thrown around in research papers since the late '90s at least.

Photo: kqedquest.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Farallon Islands have been crawling with house mice for years. They may have stowed away on boats and ridden out to the islands as early as the 1800s. Mice can be annoying or -- if they're your pets -- cute, but in the Farallones they’re causing problems on a life-and-death scale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People on the island talk about how the ground moves because there's so many mice,” explains Brad Keitt, the Director of Conservation for \u003ca href=\"http://www.islandconservation.org/\">Island Conservation\u003c/a>. The non-native mice attract \u003ca href=\"http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/061/articles/introduction\">burrowing owls\u003c/a>, which would normally stop by the island for a meal, then head out. But the mouse bounty has caused them to extend their stay. And when the mouse population falls in the winter, the owls switch to eating birds, including the \u003ca href=\"http://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/185/articles/introduction\">ashy storm-petrel\u003c/a>, an endangered species that only nests on islands off the coast of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Cruz-based Island Conservation, whose mission is to stop extinctions by eradicating invasive species on islands, is working with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=81641http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=81641\">U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.prbo.org/cms/index.php\">PRBO Conservation Science\u003c/a> to rid the South Farallon Islands of the rodents. But as anyone who’s had a mouse infestation knows, that’s easier said than done.\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\n\"You have to get rid of every single mouse,\" says U.S Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Doug Cordell. \"Any method you choose has to be 100% effective, but it can't cause significant harm to other species.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fish and Wildlife Service is considering its options. One of those is to drop rodenticide-pellets on the islands. That idea has drawn vocal criticism from San Rafael wildlife organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.wildcarebayarea.org/site/PageServer\">WildCare\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The pellets are only for mice, but anything else could eat these things,” says Maggie Sergio, the director of wildlife advocacy at Wildcare. Birds that eat seafood probably wouldn’t be attracted to them, but birds like gulls might. Sergio’s concerned about secondary poisoning, too: Hawks and owls could be affected by eating the poisoned mice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sergio acknowledges it’s a difficult decision: Is it worth possibly poisoning other animals to save the ashy storm-petrel? What about the burrowing owls? (Burrowing owls, though not native to the Farallones, naturally live in California, and they’re a “\u003ca href=\"http://www.nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=10405\">species of special concern\u003c/a> [pdf]” due to habitat loss on the mainland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week the Fish and Wildlife Service held a public meeting at Fort Mason to gather feedback on the project. And they're accepting \u003ca href=\"http://www.restorethefarallones.org/2011/03/welcome/\">public comment\u003c/a> until June 10 (the deadline's been extended). At this stage, nothing's set in stone, says Cordell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a tough call. We know we have a real problem out there. The question is what to do about it.\" He emphasizes that using a rodenticide is just one of the options he expects will be put forward in an environmental impact statement due this fall, but that he's open to hearing other suggestions. Doing nothing may be an option as well, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects of invasive species on any ecosystem range from annoying to catastrophic. On islands, it’s always a bit more interesting. Islands usually have fewer species living on them, and those species are often not well-adapted to mainland dangers. The dodo comes to mind. (This fat flightless pigeon living on an island without humans was no match for hungry sailors.) As humans have become more mobile, we’ve also gotten better at distributing plants and animals to previously isolated places all over the world, to the detriment of native species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s one thing everyone agrees on: This is a man-made problem. What they haven’t figured out yet is how--or if--to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

One of those is to drop rodenticide-pellets on the islands.

What about the burrowing owls? (Burrowing owls, though not native to the Farallones, naturally live in California, and they’re a “\u003ca href=\"http://www.nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=10405\">species of special concern\u003c/a> [pdf]” due to habitat loss on the mainland.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week the Fish and Wildlife Service held a public meeting at Fort Mason to gather feedback on the project. And they're accepting \u003ca href=\"http://www.restorethefarallones.org/2011/03/welcome/\">public comment\u003c/a> until June 10 (the deadline's been extended). At this stage, nothing's set in stone, says Cordell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a tough call. We know we have a real problem out there. The question is what to do about it.\" He emphasizes that using a rodenticide is just one of the options he expects will be put forward in an environmental impact statement due this fall, but that he's open to hearing other suggestions. Doing nothing may be an option as well, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects of invasive species on any ecosystem range from annoying to catastrophic. On islands, it’s always a bit more interesting. Islands usually have fewer species living on them, and those species are often not well-adapted to mainland dangers. The dodo comes to mind. (This fat flightless pigeon living on an island without humans was no match for hungry sailors.) As humans have become more mobile, we’ve also gotten better at distributing plants and animals to previously isolated places all over the world, to the detriment of native species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s one thing everyone agrees on: This is a man-made problem. What they haven’t figured out yet is how--or if--to fix it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Here's the latest Tour statement: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Due to severe and unsafe weather conditions in the Lake Tahoe area, the start of Stage 1 of the 2011 Amgen Tour of California has been delayed.\u003cbr>\n If the weather improves, a shortened stage will be started at 1:15 p.m. PT. We will continue to monitor the weather conditions and state of the roads and make a final decision at noon PT, with the riders’ safety as our number one priority.\u003cbr>\n The new route will continue to take the riders from South Lake Tahoe to Northstar up the west side of Lake Tahoe. The stage will be approximately 50 miles. There will be no changes to the timing or the finish line at Northstar. The Lifestyle Festival at the finish will still open at noon PT, with the Amgen Breakaway Mile also remaining on schedule for 2:30 p.m. PT.\u003cbr>\n - Andrew Messick, President of AEG Sports, presenter of the Amgen Tour of California\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Tour of California organizers have just released \u003ca href=\"http://www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/news/press/Statement-Regarding-Weather-for-Stage-1-of-the-2011-Amgen-Tour-of-California.html\">a statement\u003c/a> on how they'll respond to the onset of potentially dangerous winter weather on the planned Stage 1 course around Lake Tahoe on Sunday:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #666666\">\"\u003cem>The 2011 Amgen Tour of California is scheduled to kick off Sunday, May 15, in South Lake Tahoe at 10:30 a.m. PT. As everyone is aware, there is a storm front predicted to reach the area. Therefore race organizers, in conjunction with the commissaires, teams and public safety organizations, have developed a number of contingency plans with the safety of the riders and fans being the number one priority. The weather is constantly changing in the Sierras, and our team will be assessing weather conditions throughout the morning. A decision on any changes to the route and timing will be made at 9 a.m. PT tomorrow, and will ultimately be based on what is best and most safe for our riders and spectators. Details will be distributed on the official race website and via email.\u003c/em>\"\u003cbr>\n - Andrew Messick, President of AEG Sports, presenter of the Amgen Tour of California\u003cbr>\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>I'll only note that as the clock strikes midnight, the latest weather reports show light snow at Lake Tahoe Airport and at Blue Canyon, on Interstate 80 at about 5,200 feet west of Donner Summit. The National Weather Service office in Reno notes that on May 15, 1984, the town of Truckee recorded 4 inches of snow.
