GeoPolicy Connect: Bridging the Divide Between Policy and Science

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 38452

Session Description:
Science and Policy: two worlds so different, yet so important to each other. Policies not based in sound science can be ineffective, while science that stands apart from policy can lose support. But policymakers and scientists face challenges communicating and forming close connections. AGU launched GeoPolicy Connect to gather experts across sectors of science and policy, private and public, for meaningful conversations on challenging science policy issues. The 2nd annual GeoPolicy Connect, held in October 2017 in Pittsburgh, Pa., focused on unconventional oil and gas development. This town hall will discuss GeoPolicy Connect and solutions to bridging the science and policy divide.
