Article from the March 2010 edition
Two filmmakers talking in front of audience
Randy Olson, scientist-turned-filmmaker, and Cassie Gurbisz from COSEE Coastal Trends discuss the Observing the Ocean video.
Telling stories to communicate science
COSEE Coastal trends frequently uses videos to illustrate how people are connected to the natural world and scientific discovery. Last week, at the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) meeting in Portland Oregon, COSEE Coastal Trends staff had the opportunity to share their work and learn new story telling techniques with scientist-turned-filmmaker, Randy Olson. Cassie Gurbisz submitted the Observing the Ocean video she wrote, edited, and filmed to Olson's workshop session. The video received good reviews and workshop participants offered suggestions for enhancing the story telling components. COSEE Coastal Trends and IAN will continue to explore how to use stories to make personal connections and communicate science.

The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
