Social Science and Science Communication in Hydrologic Science Workshop 1: Integrating the Sciences
Day 1 Session 1 (10:30 AM)
Presenters:
Kristin Raub
Lakelyn Taylor
Rodrigo Soares
This workshop is the first in a two-part series about social science and science communication in hydrologic science. In this first workshop, participants will learn why it can be advantageous to integrate social science with hydrologic science and how such integration can be conducted (methodologies). These key lessons will be presented through case study examples largely in the context of active CIROH studies. Participants will gain insight into the benefits and strategies of engaging with relevant audiences who may benefit from their research. This workshop will establish a foundation of science communication that will be further explored in Workshop 2: Enhancing Hydrologic Science Communication.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learners will be able to identify and summarize the social science to hydrologic science integration spectrum and various methods that can be employed. (Level 1 + 2)
- Learners will be able to apply social science principles to practical hydrologic science case studies. (Level 3 + 4)
- Learners will be able to critically analyze the ethical considerations and limitations of integrating social science in hydrologic science. (Level 5)
- Learners will be able to develop a plan for incorporating social science and strategic communication into their future research proposals. (Level 6)
