The Science of Communications
Description:
Many scientists are frustrated. Why doesn’t the public seem to understand, or care about, many vital findings such as those related to global climate change and natural disasters? Dr. Anthony Socci, senior science and communications fellow at the American Meteorological Society, hypothesizes part of the problem may rest with scientists, who fail to utilize new findings from social and political sciences concerning how people learn about and internalize information.
Speaker(s):
Dr. Anthony Socci, senior science and communications fellow, American Meteorological Society
Prof. Arthur Lupia, Hal R. Varian Collegiate professor, Political Science, University of Michigan

Hydrology in an Era of Global Change
Description:
Prof. Dennis Lettenmaier, in his 2008 Robert E. Horton Lecture on Hydrology, traces the history of how hydrologists and meteorologists have attempted to do the book keeping which allows us to understand the water cycle. As we move from a qualitative to a quantitative hydrological science in the new era of changing climate, will we be able to answer questions essential to our nation? A look ahead at projections of the water resources of the Colorado River Basin provides a key example.
Speaker(s):
Dennis P. Lettenmaier, professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Washington
