Five from the School of Natural Resources were featured for their climate change expertise in the student-produced Streaming Science podcasts, aired on soundcloud.com.
The students, all part of the Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Communication program, and part of the Podcasting to Increase Science Literacy class, developed eight podcasts featuring CASNR scientists working in areas related to climate change. The students were charged with investigating science literacy concepts and communicating to public audiences, as well as developing writing, interviewing and podcasting skills.
SNR faculty and staff were featured in five of the eight episodes. They were:
• Martha Schulski, Nebraska State Climatologist: Planning for the future use of our water resources
• Larkin Powell, director of Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit: Studying Nebraska's ecosystem and the human effect on the land
• Kim Morrow, climate change resource specialist: Climate Change And Community
• Crystal Stiles, applied climatologist and postdoctoral research associate for the High Plains Regional Climate Center: How does drought management effectively help our ecosystem?
• Steve Hu, agricultural climatologist on climate change: Helping our environment against further change
