CCSPA Presents: Mind Walks: California’s Weather Patterns

https://centralcoastparks.org/californias-weather-patterns/

Wednesday, May 7th, 6:00 PM on Zoom

Description: William A. Selby, author of the California Sky Watcher, will talk with us about the complexities of California’s weather patterns, which tell much more of a story than the stereotypical blue skies and sun. William will guide us through California’s array of landscapes through the seasons, and touch on the atmospheric science that connects all of us to the sky above.

About the Presenter: William Selby is a native Californian who has explored, researched, and worked in every corner of the Golden State. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in geography and the earth sciences from California State University, Fullerton and San Francisco State University. William started his professional career in private industry and as a high school science teacher. He then accumulated more than three decades of experiences teaching geography, weather and climate, environmental science, and other earth science courses at Santa Monica College. He explored across the state with his students and colleagues in his field courses. He was also a guest lecturer and taught courses as Visiting Professor at the University of California.

Professor Selby authored the enduring Wiley publication, Rediscovering the Golden State, which is now in its 4th edition after more than two decades. His latest book, The California Sky Watcher: Understanding Weather Patterns and What Comes Next, is a Heyday publication that takes readers up, down, and across the state, following our changing weather patterns during each season.

"Welcome to the Mind Walks Lecture Series! The Mind Walks program, founded by Ray Easton, has been hosted in person for several years in Morro Bay from January to March in collaboration with California State Parks. During COVID, CCSPA and CA State Parks continued these programs virtually as Virtual Mind Walks. COVID gave us the opportunity to expand our topics, audience and speakers as we offered free, online programming opportunities all year long from 2020 to 2022. In 2025, we will host quarterly lectures both in-person and virtually. In-person presentations will take place in San Luis Obispo, Morro Bay, and South County locations and virtual presentations will be hosted via Zoom.

Mind Walks feature a variety of subjects from experts covering topics aimed at stretching the mind of the avid lifelong learner. This lecture series offers monthly educational opportunities devoted to recreational, natural, and cultural history topics as they relate to the Central Coast. The Mind Walks Program is underwritten by the Thomas E. and Mary Kathryn Eltzroth fund and supported by the Central Coast State Parks Association.
