NHM scientists prepare for unlikely beach finds during El Niño

As “Super El Niño” brings warm waters, strong currents and destructive tides to L.A.’s coastal areas, beachgoers may soon encounter some unusual visitors. Scientists at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County are preparing for the possible influx of marine creatures not typically found near Southern California, including yellow-bellied sea snakes and exotic fish species. The unique weather pattern also has the potential to disrupt the environment for native sea creatures, including sea lions and seals.

Research modeling a major earthquake in SoCal is being updated. Why?

Eighteen years ago on Nov. 13, Southern Californians imagined that a magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck. It was for a drill that’s since evolved into an annual observance to practice preparedness for the ever-looming Big One . The drill was focused on drop, cover and hold on, a mantra that should — ideally — feel ingrained in Californians in the event of a tremor. The decision to focus it on this guidance, as renowned seismologist Lucy Jones told the USA TODAY Network, was in response to an earthquake in Southern California that year. She was in a room full of emergency managers at the time of the tremor. They all went underneath a table. But news reports captured people running out of buildings, the very response officials say not to do. It’s just one factor that informed the major earthquake drill held that November, a drill that came out of the ShakeOut Scenario. It was a project led by Jones that modeled a magnitude-7.8 earthquake on the southern San Andreas Fault, predicted to cause about 1,800 deaths and $213 billion in economic losses. It had been unveiled earlier that year, right around the time of a devastating earthquake in China, Jones said.

California's warm waters are drawing rare sea creatures north

El Niño and a marine heat wave are bringing warmer ocean water temperatures off the coast of California and with them, in recent weeks, an oddity of sea creatures. From endangered turtles nesting on beaches to a whale shark swimming off San Diego, the coast of Southern California is seeing a wave of marine species not typically found in the region. And while they may be fascinating sights to behold, the warmer waters do more than just pave the way for unusual sea creature sightings; such conditions can also pose risks to the local ecosystem. "It's important to remember that a lot of our local species that we normally find in San Diego aren't quite adapted for these higher temperatures, so we're very closely monitoring those species and trying to figure out how the warm water will affect them and how the ecosystem may change over time as our oceans continue to warm," Zach Merson, a PhD student at the Simmons Lab at UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography , said in a Facebook video. What is El Niño? El Niño , a naturally occurring phenomenon that warms ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean,
