Preparing next generation researchers to meet the transdisciplinary challenges of climate change (MultiSector Dynamics)

Session ID#: 159149

Session Description:
Climate change stresses coupled human-Earth systems in complex and interdependent ways that cannot be fully understood through a siloed disciplinary lens. Engineered systems, ecosystems, economic systems, and human well-being are all connected and impacted by climate change. Researchers engaging in the most difficult questions related to climate change come from a variety of disciplines and often have learned to work across disciplines. How do we prepare the next generation of scientific leadership to meet these increasingly interconnected challenges? How do we incorporate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in workforce development? This session focuses on real-world examples and research on early career development in the engineering, physical, and social science fields for transdisciplinary research on climate change. We welcome abstracts that describe successful early career programs and networks, survey existing coursework, summarize best practices in professional development, describe challenges and opportunities for multi-team transdisciplinary collaboration, or present other relevant research.
