Promoting Climate Literacy

In an NSF-funded project, students interacted with foundational ideas in pedagogy for working with informal audiences.  I helped develop and teach this course at UC Berkeley.  This is a collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science

redwood conservation

Only 5% of redwood groves remain standing after extensive logging over a hundred years ago.  Working with oceanographers, atmospheric modelers, social scientists, and the public, we hope to understand how best to conserve the redwoods by anticipating where they can best live in the future.  This project was funded by the NSF SEES program: fogsci.com

organizing scientists

Measurements of carbonyl sulfide are an emerging tool for understanding photosynthesis.  Since this is a new field, I organize and facilitate meetings of an international research group of 50 scientists  to focus our efforts and learn from each others success.
