California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline Online
The California State Library and the California Center for the Book Present: A Conversation with California Against the Sea author Rosanna Xia! Join us on September 24th from 12:00PM-1:00PM.
Wherever land meets sea, heating oceans swell into higher-than-high tides and city-leveling storms. For the last hundred years, California's 1,200-mile Pacific coastline had enjoyed relative calm, but shifting tides exacerbated by climate change are bringing this serene century to a screeching close. In California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline, Rosanna Xia dives deep into the stakes, stopgaps, and potential paths forward for the 27 million people who call this coastline home.
Rosanna Xia is an environmental reporter for the Los Angeles Times, where she specializes in stories about the coast and ocean. Her work spans feature writing to investigative reporting and engages themes of climate and social justice. She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting on sea level rise, which inspired the work that culminated in California Against the Sea.
Moderated by her Heyday editor Marthine Satris
