Collaborative Collision: Climate Solutions
This message has been approved by Beth Hodges, Director of the Office of Research Development, for distribution to faculty and staff.
The Office of Research Development invites all members of the Florida State research community, and interested partner organizations in the Tallahassee area, to participate in Collaborative Collision: Climate Solutions!
March 3rd | 2pm-5pm | Zoom
Created by the Office of Research Development, Collaborative Collision is an interdisciplinary networking program to connect faculty with complementary interests, expertise, and resources, and launch new collaborative research programs that are well positioned to make breakthrough discoveries and compete for external funding.
Florida is especially vulnerable from the intersection of climate-driven adversities (increased hurricane frequency, low-elevation flooding, high incidence of heat waves) with a large population that is growing faster than the country as a whole, and is increasingly coastal. The technologies, practices, and policies needed to slow, and ultimately reverse climate change will be developed by university researchers, and implemented by our students. These climate solutions will require broad interdisciplinary perspectives, and contributions from many different areas of research.
