Science Serving Communities: Advancing Climate Resilience in Maryland

On January 5th, Katie May and Conor attended the Science Serving Communities Workshop at the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center at College Park. This event was an opportunity to learn about a new effort from a UMD research team. This effort will meaningfully engage local communities to get them the data they need to better prepare for climate change. This is an exciting and much needed project. The project is being led by Tim Canty, Director of Marine Estuarine Environmental Sciences, whose work compliments ongoing resiliency projects at IAN. The productive conversations held during the workshop have already led to follow up meetings on ways that IAN can support and collaborate on these efforts.
