by Michelle Saport |
On Monday, Oct. 28, please join the UAA/APU Books of the Year program for two events with Rick Thoman, climate scientist with the International Arctic Research Center and Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy:
Communicating Climate Science with Rick Thoman of the Monday, Oct. 28, 2:30-4 p.m. UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 307
Gone are the days when weather and climate science practitioners could do their work without regard to the use or impacts of the implications of their results. Fed by a rapidly changing environment, communications and social expectations, climate science has grown larger than any one person and "good science" now requires a team effort. We'll discuss this changed paradigm, successes and challenges, and what the future might hold for communicating science-based information in societally meaningful ways.
Going Up: On the Elevator of Climate Change Monday, Oct. 28, 5:30-7 p.m. UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 307
What does it mean to be on the "Elevator of Climate Change? Join climate specialist Rick Thoman for a talk and conversation about the changes in the Alaska environment, the short and medium term impacts of accelerating climate and environmental change in Alaska and how we can prepare.
