The 11th r3.0 International (online) Conference 'Tipping Points on Tipping Points - Building Necessary Collapse Resilience' on September 10/11 has four main themes, each with extraordinary speakers. The Fourth Session is focused on our signature issue of Thresholds & Allocations. Thresholds approximate where systems transgress their carrying capacities and so enter the danger zone where tipping points can be crossed at any moment, triggering systemic collapses. As Mark McElroy first established in his 2008 dissertation, carrying capacity transgressions apply not only to ecological system overshoot, but also social system undershoot (hence our use of the term "caring capacity".) Allocations require all actors to take accountability for their fair share responsibility of respecting systemic carrying capacities. Here's the set of speakers we will discuss with. Next week we'll discuss their individual contributions in more depth. Get your ticket at https://lnkd.in/e8QSWjVX and be with us for all 4 conference topics, discussed on September 10/11 online.

If you missed my presentation hosted by the Private Investigators Association of Idaho (PIAI), it's available on YouTube. In this webinar, I cover what public records are and what they are not, challenges of working with public records, and tips and strategies for efficient and effective public records research. #onlineresearch #gumshoelibrarian #privateinvestigations https://lnkd.in/gCtFXruw

Super interesting presentation. Community led research is the best way forward. This presentation is a great example

Visuals play such an important role in public information and warnings for all kinds of emergencies. Maps, specifically, are a critical visual tool to help the public quickly figure out where they are in relation to a threat. During the 2019-2020 black summer, maps were released showing where a fire would spread on catastrophic days. They were predictions. They were a product not typically used for public consumption but instead operational decision making. Our project is providing a world first evaluation of fire spread prediction map design, dissemination, and communication. With funding from Natural Hazards Research Australia we are working collaboratively - and I mean collaboratively - with fire agencies across Australia and university researchers across QUT (Queensland University of Technology) RMIT University Deakin University and Swinburne University of Technology to deliver utiliasable research findings to change practice and set national doctrine for map use in bushfires. 🔗 See more about the process: https://lnkd.in/gBuXifrU Check out more at the video below, recorded at the AFAC Conference last August. 🔥🚨 Erica Kuligowski Amy Griffin Chloe Begg Timothy Neale @angela gardner @graham Dwyer Nathan Maddock Blythe McLennan National Emergency Management Agency Emergency Media and Public Affairs #riskcommunication #hazards #bushfires #wildfires #communication
