As we prepare for next week’s Geosciences Congressional Visits, we’re highlighting Christina Morrisett, Climate Adaptation Program Manager at the Henry’s Fork Foundation and an AGU Voices for Science participant. 🌿 Earlier this year, Christina took her climate expertise to Capitol Hill to advocate for science-driven policy. 🌐 Discover how Christina is making an impact as we prepare for another visit to Washington, D.C.! 📢 #GeoCVD Q: Describe what you do in 25 words. A: I analyze climate and water data to anticipate upcoming fishing and irrigation seasons. I then help agencies, businesses, and individuals adapt accordingly. 🌊 Q: What is your science policy or outreach goal? A: I want to learn what 150 people love about the Henry's Fork, what changes they've seen, and what future they want. 🌍 #CommunityScience Q: What progress have you made toward your goals? A: I created a tabling activity and engaged with the community at the Fremont County Fair, Island Park Fest, and HFF’s coffee and donuts program at boat ramps. 🎣 Q: Why did you get involved in policy and outreach as a scientist? A: I'm a scientist to serve my community. Science communication and outreach are essential for empowering the communities I serve. 🤝 #SciComm Q: What advice would you give other scientists who want to get involved in advocacy or outreach? A: Outreach requires more time and energy than folks give it credit for. Dedicate adequate time to developing materials and building relationships with your community. ⏳ #ScienceAdvocacy

AGU is looking for dynamic, well-organized industry professionals, scientists or engineers with high editorial standards to join the Space Weather editorial board.

In honor of next week’s Geosciences Congressional Visits, we’re spotlighting Joel Eklof, a PhD Candidate at the University of Washington and an AGU #VoicesforScience member. Earlier this year, Joel brought his expertise on Alaska’s #permafrost to Capitol Hill to advocate for science-driven policy. 🌐🚀 Discover how Joel is making an impact as we prepare for another visit to Washington, D.C.! 📢 #GeoCVD Q: Describe what you do in 25 words. A: I co-run summer science programs for frequently underrepresented Alaskan foster youth and study environmental controls on permafrost thaw and resulting wetland methane emissions. 🌱 #STEMeducation Q: What is your science policy or outreach goal? A: My goal is to run successful summer education programs, secure long-term funding for a leadership program I co-created and expand summer programming to include field internships. Q: What progress have you made on your goals? A: We’ve successfully run two programs with around 30 Alaskan youth, secured long-term funding for the leadership program, and obtained additional funding to launch internships! 🏆 Q: Why did you get involved in policy and outreach as a scientist? A: These programs take place near one of my field sites. When I heard about the great work being done, I had to get involved! 🔬 #ScienceCommunication Q: What advice would you give other scientists who want to get involved in advocacy? A: Find someone who does work you find worthwhile and reach out! 🤝 #ScienceAdvocacy

At #IGC2024 our president @LisaGraumlich recalled her work as a paleoclimatologist studying tree rings to reconstruct past climates. Then, after decades studying the impact of climate change on our planet, she found herself testifying before the U.S. House of Representatives. There, she presented evidence from tree-ring data that revealed the late 20th century was the warmest period the world had seen in the past 1,000 years. "This work taught me that each layer of rock, each ring of a tree, tells a story—stories that are not just ancient relics of bygone eras, but deeply relevant to the challenges we face today . . . We should focus on how we, as a united scientific community, can advance our practices, expand our workforce and prepare younger generations to effectively tackle these challenges." There's no better place to move forward on that critical work than at AGU24 in Washington, D.C., 9-13 December. Register today: https://lnkd.in/e6mk5NxG
