Interpreting Climate Change

Interpreting climate change can be challenging!

It’s complicated, and audiences may respond on a wide variety of emotional and

intellectual levels. This two-day, highly interactive workshop will join interpreters

and NASA science and education specialists to learn from each other about climate science 

and communication. We’ll cover some basics of the science, and explore appropriate techniques for

addressing this subject with a variety of audiences, including youth. Abundant

interpretation, education and scientific resources will be provided to support

participants’ climate change interpretation efforts. 

 

The first day of the workshop will be held at Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge, and the second will be at the conference hotel.  (Transportation from the conference hotel to the refuge will be provided, as well as lunch on both days.)
