Day 1 Session 2 (1:30 PM)
Presenters:
Lakelyn Taylor
Rodrigo Soares
Kristin Raub
This workshop is the second in a two-part series about co-development and communication in hydrologic science. In this second workshop, participants will learn how to enhance hydrologic communication using strategic, science communication concepts and strategies. Participants will gain insight into key barriers, myths, and ethical considerations associated with science communication and what they mean for communicating hydrology. They will also obtain skills in translating their science for a wide variety of audiences including local communities and media sources. This workshop will expand on the insights from Workshop 1: Integrating the Sciences.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learners will be able to discuss key barriers to science communication and construct strategies for combating those barriers. (Level 2 + Level 6)
- Learners will be able to apply science communication and strategic communication strategies to practical case study examples. (Level 3)
- Learners will be able to demonstrate outcomes from workshops 1 as they practice communicating hydrology. (Level 4)
- Learners will be able to generate translated versions of at least one aspect of their previous or current research for at least one type of audience. (Level 6)
Prerequisites:
Attendance of the first workshop recommended.
