UCI is a global hub for research on climate science in fields ranging from ecology to atmospheric chemistry. Still the benefits of climate science for society remain limited, and current policies are insufficient to address the problem of climate change. Join Sciences and Society @ UCI for a presentation by Professors Steven Allison and Valerie Olson, who will explore the barriers to greater social impact of UCI climate science and make recommendations for more societally-relevant climate research that is informed by the needs of local communities
