This week we discuss the drought in California’s agricultural central valley. And, I recently spoke with Professor Kerry Ard of Ohio State University about her recent paper titled “Examining the Relationship Between Racialized Poverty Segregation and Hazardous Industrial Facilities in the U.S. Over Time.” The paper is to be published in American Behavioral Scientist and is co-authored by Kevin Smiley.

Segment 1 – Kerry Ard on “Examining the Relationship Between Racialized Poverty Segregation and Hazardous Industrial Facilities in the U.S. Over Time.”

Segment 2 -- A foreboding glimpse of climate dislocation in the U.S.: Drought, aquifer collapse, and farmer adjustments in California’s Central Valley.
