On Thursdays from January 13 to February 17, 2022, the EOAS Climate Emergency Committee is hosting a 6-week colloquium series exploring intersections between Earth and climate science and a society-spanning response to the climate crisis. The goals of this series are to (1) showcase the latest in climate science and climate solutions research, (2) highlight intersections between science and multidisciplinary aspects of the climate crisis and (3) discuss opportunities and roles for Earth Sciences (and scientists) in the broader context of a society-spanning response to the climate crisis. 

In this first event in the series, we have invited 3 outstanding researchers to present on their experiences and perspectives on making research relevant in the era of the climate crisis.  The format will consist of 3 10-15 minute talks by our panel members followed by a discussion of the issues with the panel and the audience.
