The regional momentum for supporting sustainability and clean/green technology received a boost from a new partnership of the City’s Cleantech Initiative and UC San Diego’s William J. von Liebig Center for Entrepreneurism and Technology Advancement. The City is collaborating with the nationally recognized Center to accelerate the commercialization of environmentally friendly technologies from academia to the private sector. 
From sharks to microbes, scientists capture
It isn’t easy being Green, according to Kermit, but students and staff at the University of California, San Diego are proving the ubiquitous frog wrong with a palette of green activities amassed into Earth Week April 20 to 26. 
There is a 50 percent chance Lake Mead, a key source of water for millions of people in the southwestern United States, will be dry by 2021 if climate changes as expected and future water usage is not curtailed, according to a pair of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. 
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have developed a series of global maps that show where projected habitat loss and climate change are expected to drive the need for future reserves to prevent biodiversity loss. 
A new analysis led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego shows that climate change from human activity is already disrupting water supplies in the western United States. 
More than 300 scientists and business leaders from around the country met last week to discuss ways of developing new biofuels to help replace our dwindling oil reserves and mitigate some of the impacts of climate change. 
“There is no magic solution, but the responsibility to save the world belongs in the hands of our youth,” UC San Diego sociology professor Ivan Evans told a Focus the Nation panel discussion on Thursday. The panel talk was one of many diverse events organized by UCSD students to recognize the first Focus the Nation event, which took place Jan. 28 to 31.
A group of teachers huddled Saturday in the Birch Aquarium’s climate change exhibit, trying to decide what they would do to curb global warming. Should they build more nuclear power plants? Should they require higher fuel efficiency standards for cars? Should they increase the use of solar power?
UC San Diego undergraduate students have designed, built and deployed a network of five weather-monitoring stations as a key step toward helping the university use ocean breezes to cool buildings, identify the sunniest rooftops to expand its solar-electric system, and use water more efficiently in irrigation and in other ways. The network, which will be expanded to 20 stations in 2008, is unprecedented in the United States for the density of weather data to be collected.
The University of California, San Diego has become the first campus on the West Coast to join the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), North America’s only voluntary, legally binding trading system to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. UC San Diego is only the seventh university in the nation to join the climate exchange. 
UC San Diego, which has implemented a wide range of energy-reducing initiatives across all levels of campus operations, has joined The Green Grid, a global consortium of companies dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and computing ecosystems. 
Geographic range maps that allow conservationists to estimate the distribution of birds may vastly overestimate the actual population size of threatened species and those with specific habitats, according to a study published online this week in the journal Conservation Biology.
