SUMMARY:Santa Cruz Pickwick Club presents: Christie Mysteries
DESCRIPTION:Over the coming year\, Dickens Universe readers and Pickwick Club members will meet for discussions focused on these novels and their lasting influence on the mystery genre. This year’s reading series brings together four landmark works of crime fiction: The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Charles Dickens (Penguin Classics\, 2002)\, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2021)\, The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2025)\, and The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie (William Morrow\, 2011). Join Dickens enthusiasts and Pickwick Club members on Zoom for a series of discussions about these beloved books. \nRegister via Zoom \nReading Schedule:  \n\nSept 27: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd\nOct 25: The Pale Horse\nNov 22: The Murder at the Vicarage\nDec 27: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nJan 24: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nFeb 28: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nMar 28: The Mystery of Edwin Drood\nApr 25: TBD\nMay 23: TBD\nJun 27: TBD\n\nRecommended Edition: We recommend the Penguin Classics edition of the novels for its appendices and notes\, but other versions are fine. First-time readers should avoid the Introduction if they don’t want spoilers. Download the novels to read at Gutenburg.org or listen at LibriVox.org. \nThe Santa Cruz Pickwick (Book) Club\, a branch of the Dickens Fellowship\, is a community of local bookworms\, students\, and teachers who meet monthly to discuss a nineteenth-century novel. The Santa Cruz Public Libraries provide support for the reading group.

SUMMARY:Kraw Lecture: Could a “Super El Niño” be coming?
DESCRIPTION:UC Santa Cruz researchers are closely tracking the development of a potential “super El Niño” this year. In this Kraw Lecture\, two UC Santa Cruz experts will explore the natural forces that drive El Niño events\, how scientists forecast major climate shifts\, and what current research can tell us about the months ahead. While every El Niño is unique\, decades of research at UC Santa Cruz provide valuable insights into potential impacts and how communities can prepare. \nAttendees will also get an early look at findings from California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment and explore CoSMoS Adapts\, an innovative project examining future coastal flood risks and the effectiveness and cost of different adaptation strategies. Join us for a timely conversation about what a changing climate and a potential major El Niño could mean for California’s coast and communities. \nSpeakers:\nGary Griggs\nDistinguished Professor\, Earth & Planetary Sciences\, UC Santa Cruz \nMike Beck\nDirector\, Center for Coastal Climate Resilience\, UC Santa Cruz \n  \nRegister Now
