# Event Details - **Event Name**: Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm - **Event Description**: Dr. Handy discusses how climate change and tourism threaten the ecological integrity of climate refuge destinations like Lake Tahoe.About this EventAs climate change drives rising temperatures across the western United States, outdoor recreation destinations like Lake Tahoe are experiencing shifting visitation patterns. In this talk, Dr. Susan Handy presents findings from her research, Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin, and also shares how the study came about, the broader climate-related questions that motivated the work, and the more general challenges of managing transportation in the region.Using visitation data and climate modeling, the study explores whether travelers are increasingly seeking cooler mountain destinations during heat events—and what this trend means for transportation systems, environmental sustainability, and regional planning. Dr. Handy will discuss the implications for managing peak visitation, reducing transportation emissions, and protecting the ecological integrity of climate refuge destinations like Lake Tahoe.Speaker BioDr. Susan Handy is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at UC Davis and Director of the National Center for Sustainable Transportation. Her research focuses on the relationships among transportation, land use, travel behavior, and climate change. Through interdisciplinary, policy-relevant research, she examines how transportation systems can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving community livability and resilience.Doors open at 5:00 p.m with a mixer with snacks and a no-host bar.Presentation begins at 6:00 p.m. at the UC Davis Tahoe Science Center at 201 Country Club Dr., Incline Village NV 89451.Advanced ticketing purchased online is $10, and same-day tickets are $15 at the door, this presentation is free for students with a student ID.For more information call 775-881-7560 or email tercinfo@ucdavis.edu. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/incline-village/escaping-the-heat-climate-change-and-visitation-to-the-lake-tahoe-basin/100001992019576176 - **Event Categories**: science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: UC Davis Tahoe Science Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 11.82, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Incline Village - **state**: NV - **country**: United States - **location**: UC Davis Tahoe Science Center - **lat**: 39.2428814 - **long**: -119.93963109999999 - **full address**: UC Davis Tahoe Science Center, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Escaping+the+Heat%3A+Climate+Change+and+Visitation+to+the+Lake+Tahoe+Basin&date=Thu%2C+25+Jun%2C+2026+at+05%3A00+pm&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin being held? - **A:** Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin takes place on Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 07:30 pm at UC Davis Tahoe Science Center, 291 Country Club Drive, Incline Village, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin? - **A:** Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin is organized by Heather Segale. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Escaping the Heat: Climate Change and Visitation to the Lake Tahoe Basin", "image": "https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Escaping+the+Heat%3A+Climate+Change+and+Visitation+to+the+Lake+Tahoe+Basin&date=Thu%2C+25+Jun%2C+2026+at+05%3A00+pm&bg=2", "startDate": "2026-06-25", "endDate": "2026-06-25", "url": "https://allevents.in/incline-village/escaping-the-heat-climate-change-and-visitation-to-the-lake-tahoe-basin/100001992019576176", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "UC Davis Tahoe Science Center", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "291 Country Club Drive", "postalCode": "89451", "addressLocality": "Incline Village", "addressRegion": "NV", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "39.2428814", "longitude": "-119.93963109999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Dr. Handy discusses how climate change and tourism threaten the ecological integrity of climate refuge destinations like Lake Tahoe.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-06-25", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "11.82", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/incline-village/escaping-the-heat-climate-change-and-visitation-to-the-lake-tahoe-basin/100001992019576176" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/incline-village/escaping-the-heat-climate-change-and-visitation-to-the-lake-tahoe-basin/100001992019576176", "price": "11.82", "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-09-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-09-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/incline-village/escaping-the-heat-climate-change-and-visitation-to-the-lake-tahoe-basin/100001992019576176", "price": 0, "name": "Student or Staff" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Heather Segale", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/heather-segale/18017489" } ] } ] ```
