Science to Action: Education for Community/Scientist Problem Solving Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 52442

Session Description:
From land use planning to hazard mitigation, community science refers to collaborations among scientists, science educators, decision makers and community members to solve problems.   Community science often includes education, to enhance community understanding, build scientific capacity within the community and to develop a scientific workforce that can serve communities. Community science also provides opportunities to bridge gaps between historically underserved and underrepresented communities and science that may result in broader participation in and use of geoscience. This session will showcase examples of AGU members engaged in successful educational collaborations for community problem solving, including service learning, undergraduate research projects, informal education for communities, youth-citizen science, cross-cultural education, preparation for scientists to engage in community science and more.
