Join us for two lightning talks by our postdoctoral research team; Diane Sturgeon, Hannah Desrochers, and Sierra Perez. They will detail their projects and seek your comments, input, and ideas.

Abstracts: Diane J.E. Sturgeon and Hannah Desrochers’ work aims to synthesize the current state of climate adaptation science and management in the Southeast and US Caribbean. The ultimate goal is to improve understanding and accessibility of the available climate adaptation science in the region. With their team at SE CASC, Diane and Hannah are currently seeking to identify priority topics from on-the-ground managers and decision-makers to summarize for this project. They want to develop tools and visualizations that are useful and actually used in adaptation planning and implementation. Their project also seeks to test AI as a tool to accelerate literature screening without compromising scientific standards. Management decisions require current scientific evidence, but traditional literature reviews take 6-12…
