One of the fundamental motivations of geosciences is to produce knowledge that helps to solve society’s most pressing issues. Developing scientific knowledge that catalyzes effective environmental action requires insights from a variety of communities and disciplines, especially those that relate to social behavior and decision-making. This session highlights talks from diverse fields (including but not limited to anthropology, economics, history, political science, decision science, psychology, and sociology, as well as from practitioner communities) that present social and behavioral findings that illuminate how to forge stronger linkages between science and society and improve the societal impact of geoscience knowledge. We particularly invite insights, frameworks, and tools that scientists and/or practitioners can use to support social and behavioral changes at multiple scales.
