Great story about using storytelling in #EnvironmentalScience #education.
"The Coastal Media Project is an intensive 12-credit course offered through [University of #California #SantaBrabara’s Department of Film and Media Studies."

Our collaborators have a life outside the Cluster.
Here's how #Hydrology researcher James Shanley, based at the United States Geological Survey in Vermont, worked with a variety of other experts to better understand a #fractured #aquifer and what it could mean for a broader understanding of what could possibly contaminate these important water sources.

In our latest Cluster Chat Bren Cable and Niara Hicks talk about some of their #science adventures this past summer.
In this conversation they talk about the logistics of field work, meeting scientists in other disciplines, and what motivates them to pursue a career in #EnvironmentalScience

Nearly 30,000 households in #BritishColumbia were ordered to #evacuate following the emergence of roughly 400 #wildfires across the province. It is currently #Canada’s worst #wildfire season on record, with at least 1,000 fires burning across the country.

These are tools we’re using to improve #models used by #EnvironmentalScience researchers. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwiPobcqwBt/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng==
That feeling when you find a paper that has SIGNIFICANT overlap with the paper you're currently writing 🤦♀️
Anyway, the paper led by Carmen Sanchez-Garcia is great and if you're interested in fires and ash chemistry you should check it out https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2023.108065
Nice work @GabrielS and co!

Maps! #Maps. Fascinating and great tools for #ScienceEducation.
Add teaching with maps to your #LessonPlans this year. This collection of resources from the Science Education Resource Center at Carleton College provides #classroom activities, toolkits, and a link to the National Association of Geoscience #Teachers.

The ISciences Global Water Watch List for August 2023 has been published. Deficits: N and S #Africa, #EuropeanRussia, and most of #Canada’s provinces. Surplus: western #UnitedStates, north-central #Australia, and SE #Africa.

#Science teachers have all kinds of #EnvironmentalScience in their lesson plans.
Here's a series of modules from the Science #Education Resource Center at Carleton College about #drought.
Even if drought isn't in your lesson plan this year you'll fund something in this collection that you can bring into the #classroom.

#Collaboration is at the heart of the #CriticalZone Collaborative Network.
Here's an example of what that looks like for #undergraduate researchers. Data included in a recent #Geological Sciences of America meeting was collected by equipment designed by one Cluster and used by another.

The relationship between #scientists and #policymakers is changing.
Traditionally #science is made available to those who are interested, and the scientist goes on to do more work.
This 2022 paper examines how #Dutch scientists took a more active role in shaping #policy.
"An engagement with the politics of knowledge by experts as well as policymakers can encourage more effective and legitimate knowledge production and use."

Dust^2 principal investigator Jeff Munroe has presented his work many times. But there's always a first time.
In this video Munroe talks a bit about the uncertainty a student may feel when presenting about their project to people who have varying levels of experience in the area of study being presented.
Have confidence, Munroe encourages, and you'll have a better experience than you are expecting.
