SUMMARY:Social and Digital Media Strategies for Scientist
DESCRIPTION:It’s a complex world\, and the need for clear communication has never been greater. This learning series provides opportunities to build your science communication skills and reflect on how to tell meaningful stories about your work. Hosted by the Lake Superior Reserve’s Coastal Training Program and the Lake Superior Collaborative\, this series is designed to help you gain confidence in your communication skills whether you are a scientific researcher\, government employee\, or in any line of work related to science or Lake Superior coastal management. This series will alternate between virtual workshops and webinars from January through May of 2021. \nThis session will focus on social and digital media. Even if you’re not especially tech savvy or don’t have an interest in becoming a social media maven\, basic skills are necessary to navigate this new (and likely long-lasting) digital environment. In this workshop\, attendees will learn how to communicate in a clear and compelling fashion via digital and social media. Skills you’ll learn from AGU’s Sharing Science team will include how to: \n\nEstablish and cultivate an online presence\nChoose between mediums for online science communication\nUse different tools and techniques based on the platform\nIncorporate storytelling via multimedia into your messaging\n\nThe American Geophysical Union’s Sharing Science program provides scientists with the skills\, tools\, and opportunities they need to communicate science with any audience. Learn more about the program\, follow them on Twitter\, and join the Sharing Science Community.

SUMMARY:Preparing for and Adapting to Future Floods with Natural Flood Management
DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about opportunities to mitigate flood risks to communities and infrastructure with cost-effective\, nature-based solutions? In this session\, participants will learn about Natural Flood Management (NFM)\, an emerging concept that involves using a combination of multiple practices\, in different parts of the watershed\, to increase the landscape’s ability to store and manage water. You’ll hear about watershed-scale risk assessments and NFM demonstration projects that are underway in Ashland County to identify infrastructure vulnerabilities and prioritize where flood risks can be minimized through upstream hydrologic restoration actions. The panel will also discuss benefit-cost data\, screening tools\, infrastructure design approaches\, and other resources that can help your community tap into hazard mitigation\, disaster recovery\, and climate adaptation funding. \nFollow this link to learn more.
