Toward Solution Science: Lessons from a Decade of Climate Scientist-Practitioner Dialog
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the challenges and opportunities in bridging the gap between climate science and practical decision-making in this engaging webinar featuring a dialogue between a climate scientist and a climate adaptation practitioner. Gain insights into making scientific research more relevant to societal challenges and learn how to effectively inform the decision-making process. Delve into topics such as the stakes of adaptation, the whiplash effect, actionable science, and case studies like Tampa Bay Water. Examine lessons learned from sea level rise projections, including the statement of task, cryospheric extrapolation, fingerprint effects, and the contribution of Antarctica. Discover how to translate complex scientific findings into practical guidance for policymakers and understand the importance of addressing the "whiplash effect" in climate communication. Gain valuable perspectives on bridging the gap between scientific research and real-world application in climate adaptation strategies.
