As many of you know, I have co-directed (with Sue Weiler of Whitmant) the DISCCRS program http://disccrs.org/ to help train recent PhDs who work on climate change to become more interdisciplinary. Some on this list have attended the Symposia.
Among many other useful climate resources DISCCRS has created, one particularly interesting one is the following brief snippets from DISCCRS Scholars at our most recent symposium in 2013 on "What everyone should know about climate change" and also "What do you want to know about climate change" - if you want a brief piece for an intro class, these may be useful (links to both are on this page). http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2014/09/17/what-everyone-should-know-about-clim ate-change/ Climate scientist William D <http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/%7Edandrea/index/Home.html> 'Andrea of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory <https://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/> asked young scientists attending a symposium last October, "What do you wish everyone knew about climate change?" He turned the responses into this video, which covers the topic pretty well. The interviews took place during the Dissertations Initiative <http://disccrs.org> for the Advancement of Climate Change Research symposium, held in Colorado Springs, Colo., in October 2013. D'Andrea, a Lamont assistant research professor, also asked attendees a second question about their research: "What do you want to know about climate change?" The answers are in this second video. Hope they are useful to some, Ron Ronald Mitchell, Professor Department of Political Science and Program in Environmental Studies University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403-1284 [email protected] http://rmitchel.uoregon.edu/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
