What does geospatial science look like at Audubon California in 2025? It starts at the Salton Sea, where our science is helping move roughly 2,000 acres of wetland habitat toward restoration planning. From there, it expands statewide: research that informs California’s climate policy, modernized data models that support smarter renewable energy siting, and science-driven convenings that bring researchers and decision makers to the same table. … At a California State Water Resources Control Board meeting in the Coachella Valley, the Salton Sea Management Program presented a new project to protect and enhance emerging wetlands in the northern Salton Sea, totaling roughly 2,000 acres.
