Societal Review

UPDATE: April 29, 2022

The SCoPEx Advisory Committee held a virtual panel discussion on December 15th, 2021 at the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) Fall Meeting. The motivation for such a discussion was to gather feedback  on various possible approaches to public engagement for SCoPEx from experts on public engagement and participants at AGU. We invited three individuals to participate in a moderated panel discussion that was followed by a question and answer session with town hall attendees. 

Panel Participants:

  • Edward Parson, Professor of Environmental Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the University of California, Los Angeles.
  • Lisa Dilling, Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and former Director of the Western Water Assessment at the University of Colorado Boulder.
  • Marion Hourdequin Professor of Philosophy at Colorado College.
