Barrows remembers 1991, when scientists, not the media, talked about the “March Miracle” in the Coachella Valley.</p> <p><a class="btn-ucr" href="https://news.ucr.edu/articles/2019/03/15/superbloom-if-you-say-so" target="_blank">READ MORE</a></p> <a href="https://epsci.ucr.edu/article-category/biogeography-landscape-ecology-conservation-biology" hreflang="en">Biogeography, Landscape Ecology &amp; Conservation Biology</a><div class="tags-title">Tags</div> <div class="tags-list"> <div><a href="https://epsci.ucr.edu/tags/richard-minnich" hreflang="en">Richard Minnich</a></div> </div> <picture> <source srcset="https://epsci.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/ezgif-4-7aae2ded4ba5.gif?h=c66d06c9&amp;itok=ntif_HAO 1x" media="all and (min-width: 1401px)" type="image/gif" width="1170" height="450"> <source srcset="https://epsci.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/ezgif-4-7aae2ded4ba5.gif?h=c66d06c9&amp;itok=ntif_HAO 1x" media="all and (min-width: 1025px) and (max-width: 1400px)" type="image/gif" width="1170" height="450"> <source srcset="https://epsci.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_m/public/ezgif-4-7aae2ded4ba5.gif?h=c66d06c9&amp;itok=42i6fW_c 1x" media="all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px)" type="image/gif" width="1023" height="450"> <source srcset="https://epsci.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_s/public/ezgif-4-7aae2ded4ba5.gif?h=c66d06c9&amp;itok=CNP9jU3J 1x" type="image/gif" width="767" height="767"> <img loading="eager" width="1170" height="450" src="https://epsci.ucr.edu/sites/default/files/styles/article_header_l/public/ezgif-4-7aae2ded4ba5.gif?h=c66d06c9&amp;itok=ntif_HAO" alt="superbloom"> </picture> <div class="sharing-title">Share This</div><span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://epsci.ucr.edu/news/2019/03/15/superbloom-if-you-say-so" data-a2a-title="Superbloom?
