The Science Behind Climate Adaptation with Battelle

In episode 212 of America Adapts, we partnered with Battelle to delve into the multifaceted world of ecological research with four distinguished scientists. Dr. Paula Mabee, Chief Scientist and Director of the National Ecological Observatory Network, discusses NEON's mission to monitor ecological changes and its role in shaping adaptation strategies through data and collaboration. Dr. Jamin Greenbaum from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography shares his groundbreaking research on Antarctic ice melt and its implications for sea level rise and emphasizing the need for effective science communication. Dr. Andrew Elmore from the National Science Foundation explores the integration of AI in ecological research and NSF's commitment to workforce development, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary efforts in addressing climate change. And Dr. Chris Hakkenberg from Northern Arizona University highlights NEON's use of advanced technologies like NASA's LIDAR to study forest biodiversity and wildfire risks. Together, these conversations provide a comprehensive look at the critical role of ecological research in fostering effective climate adaptation.
