Natural Perspectives: Prepare for three days on your own in emergency
While Vic was on a pelagic trip with Sea and Sage Audubon on Saturday, I attended a three-hour disaster preparedness seminar put on by Huntington Beach.

In The Pipeline: The call of 'great blue beyond' beckons
As I included in my column the last two weeks, my son and I were in the Arctic.

Natural Perspectives: Current situation more like 'global weirding'
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Climatic Data Center's "State of the Climate: Global Analysis for Annual 2010" makes for some pretty sobering reading.

Natural Perspectives: Mea culpa for last column
I made a goof in my last column about the Bolsa Chica Land Trust's plan for the mesa. The error is mine, not Vic's. I said the Land Trust was going to excavate no deeper than 8 feet to bury its 2,825-gallon water tanks in the ground. Actually, the tanks...Tags: Biology, University of California, Renewable Energy, Mountains, Wetlands

Mailbag: Egypt should heed lessons of Iran

Natural Perspectives: Land Trust's composting plan is no good
Editor's note: This removes the paragraph regarding the water tanks, which will be above ground, not in pits that were to be no larger than 8 feet deep.

Natural Perspectives: More like a 'heart attack for the mesa'

Natural Perspectives: Getting to the bottom of drained wetland
A new freshwater wetland formed at Bolsa Chica, but someone drained it. That's right, someone drained a wetland at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve.
