The Cryosphere Is for All: Overcoming Barriers to Participation in the Cryospheric Sciences
Session ID#: 249354
Session Description:
Research on the cryosphere has a long history of ostracizing promising scientists and knowledgeable stakeholders. The cryosphere is undergoing an “all hands on deck” crisis due to a long-term change in average weather patterns. However, many people are unable to contribute to our efforts to understand or adapt to this crisis. Expanding the scope of research and ensuring the participation of various communities requires appropriate engagement of the entire spectrum of cryosphere-related workforce and beneficiaries. We envision this recurring session will consist of eLightning talks, posters, and a panel of invited cryosphere broadening participation experts, moderated by Asa Rennermalm, President of the Cryosphere Section. This session will focus on barriers to participation and recent efforts (including both successes and failures) to attract the broadest possible range of voices into the discipline. We welcome new ideas and approaches for advancing participation in the discipline, with particular attention to current best practices.
