In this episode we talk with Assistant Director of Communications at SESYNC, Alaina Gallagher, about all things Science Communication. Specifically we focus on an interactive resource on our website, www.sesync.org, called the Communications Toolkit, that will guide you through the process of creating a communications plan that will have your research making a big impact!

On this episode of Succinct Science, SESYNC's Erin Duffy has a conversation with Dr. Lori Peek, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, about questions, such as:

• How "natural" are natural disasters?

• What are the dimensions of "risk" that combine to form disasters?

• What is sociology and how can it be integrated with other disciplines such as engineering to reduce the risk of harm and suffering from disasters?

Enjoy and thanks for listening!

From more intense wildfires and hurricanes to displacement and increased vulnerability to and from poverty—some effects of climate change are already here. And while there is still much to be done to heal our earth, a poignant question arises: How do we adapt to the atmospheric shifts that are irreversible? How do we make strategic plans for the future amid cascading uncertainties and mounting risks? Can we co-evolve solutions that benefit both humans and nature, utilizing the wisdom and ingenuity of both people and planet? Today on SESYNC Audio Interviews we’re talking to Dr. John Matthews … "We work in this decision space around water and climate. And we think about resilience as the glue between those two domains…" about his SESYNC work on sustainable water management in a dynamic world. Today, we are talking about socio-environmental resilience.

Get ready for some #climatehope.
