Next week in Oslo, Norway, the members and partners of the Belmont Forum will meet to discuss the adaptation and resilience needs of vulnerable communities. These scientific grand challenges benefit not only from the shared expertise of natural scientists, social scientists, and engaged stakeholders but also the collaborative support of multiple funding agencies and organizations.

High tides combined with super saturated ground and rising seas resulted in substantial flooding in South Florida last week, just in time to greet Al Gore and the Climate Reality Conference in Miami. Parking lots flooded and roads turned into rivers while top scientists and stakeholders met to address the very near term effects of climate change. One team of researchers at the conference from Florida International University’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication is working to educate tomorrow’s communicators how best to bring climate change and South Florida’s rising seas into global conversations.
