Collaborative Science Conversations (Session 2) | Working Across Jurisdictional Boundaries

 


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKX9GO6Wmsg&list=PLIsFkpfaRbcn_y1M08K6SYUb1ezrZp8Uu&index=2


Ecosystems don’t care about political boundaries, even if the natural resources within them are managed by multiple entities. Research projects that span political boundaries can often be sticky – decisions are made on long timelines, changes in policy and staff can derail implementation of projects and the tools they produce, and it can be difficult to effectively engage diverse stakeholders so that their perspectives inform the work. Enter: collaborative science. In situations with complex and competing interests, there is a higher likelihood that science will be applied to decision making when problems are tackled with a collaborative science framework. In this webinar, collaborative science project teams will discuss how to work across political boundaries and with different partners to develop shared tools, models, and action plans that will improve ecosystem management.

About Collaborative Science Conversations: The NOAA RESTORE Science and NERRS Science Collaborative programs team up to bring you the voices of project teams from the field through our Collaborative Science Conversations webinar series. These sessions dig into the unique value of collaborative science, what it feels like in practice, and tips and strategies for success.

Von Kármán vortex cloud swirls from Jeju Island of Republic of Korea (South Korea)

    This Copernicus Sentinel-3 image acquired on 19 April 2021 shows several vortical cloud patterns swirling downwind south of the Spanish Canary Islands, off the coast of northwestern Africa.   These beautiful spiral clouds, known as Von Kármán vortices, form when atmospheric circulation is disturbed by the presence of mountainous obstacles. The peculiar spiral clouds which can be seen in this image were formed as the wind airflow was deflected by the relief of the Canary Islands. These Von Kármán vortices can be seen extending 400 km southwest due to the strong trade winds that were blowing at the time the image was acquired.   The study of atmospheric phenomena is fundamental to the understanding the fluid dynamics that underly numerous scenarios of our daily lives, from aircraft take-offs to the change in weather conditions. Open data supplied by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission are crucial in the advancement of scientific knowledge on cloud dynamic...

Major Storm Hits Northern California: Flash Flooding and Rockslides Threaten Region

  Major Storm Hits Northern California: Flash Flooding and Rockslides Threaten Region   SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) — A powerful storm swept through Northern California on Wednesday night, bringing heavy rain and snow, and posing significant threats of flash flooding and rockslides.   Key Details - Rainfall: Up to 16 inches (41 cm) of rain forecasted in Northern California and southwestern Oregon through Friday. - Snowfall: Over a foot of snow already dumped in the Cascades, with more expected in the northern Sierra Nevada. - Wind: Wind gusts could reach up to 75 mph (121 kph) in mountain areas. - Power Outages: Nearly 376,000 reports in Washington state due to strong winds and rain. - Casualties: Two fatalities in Washington state due to falling trees.   CNN news Impact on Northern California - Santa Rosa: Experienced about 5 inches (13 cm) of rain within 24 hours. - Road Closures: Southbound Interstate 5 closed for 11 miles (18 km) due to extreme weather co...

Climate change is changing hurricanes. How?

Climate change is changing hurricanes. How?  #EarthScience #NASA #Hurricanes #ClimateChange  Image Descriptions 1: An image of Hurricane Idalia from space taken by an astronaut aboard the ISS is positioned in the bottom half of the image. White text reads “Climate change is affecting Hurricanes.” with “hurricanes” in blue lettering on a black background at the top.  2: An image divided into four panels by blue lines. The left most panel runs top to bottom showing a piece of the image from the previous slide while the other three panels divide the right side of the image. The top is white text on a black background and reads “How do hurricanes form?”. The middle shows an image of an eye of a hurricane from space. The bottom panel reads “4 main ingredients:” in blue text and lists “Warm ocean waters near the surface, High humidity in the air, Favorable winds, and A pre-existing disturbance (like a cluster of thunderstorms”  3: An image with white text on a black backgr...
