America Adapts the Climate Change Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In episode 212 of America Adapts, we partnered with Battelle to delve into the multifaceted world of ecological research with four distinguished scientists. Dr. Paula Mabee, Chief Scientist and Director of the National Ecological Observatory Network, discusses NEON's mission to monitor ecological changes and its role in shaping adaptation strategies through data and collaboration. Dr. Jamin Greenbaum from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography shares his groundbreaking research on Antarctic ice melt and its implications for sea level rise and emphasizing the need for effective science communication. Dr. Andrew Elmore from the National Science Foundation explores the integration of AI in ecological research and NSF's commitment to workforce development, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary efforts in addressing climate change. And Dr. Chris Hakkenberg from Northern Arizona University highlights NEON's use of advanced technologies like NASA's LIDAR to study forest biodiversity and wildfire risks. Together, these conversations provide a comprehensive look at the critical role of ecological research in fostering effective climate adaptation.

Experts in this Episode:

Dr. Paula Mabee - Chief Scientist and Observatory Director for the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON)

Dr. Jamin Greenbaum - Assistant research geophysicist at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the Scripps institution of Oceanography in San Diego

In episode 112 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts for the third time, famed climatologist Dr. Michael Mann. Mike comes on to discuss his recent sabbatical in Sydney, Australia, just as the bushfires raged out of control. We discuss the conservative media in Australia and how the continent is uniquely susceptible to the impacts of climate change. We also discuss how the anti-science response to the Covid19 pandemic mirrors much of what he’s encountered in the climate denial movement. We also briefly discuss Michael Moore’s anti-green energy movie. Great conversation with the famed ‘hockey stick’ scientist!   

Topics covered:

• Mann on sabbatical in Australia!
• On location in the middle of the Australia Bushfires.
• How Covid19 is related to climate denialism.
• How Michael Moore’s new anti-environment movie is so dangerous.
• Rupert Murdoch anti-climate media in Oz.
• Mann just elected to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences!

In episode 110 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts two adaptation professionals, Shaun Martin of World Wildlife Fund and Emily Wasley of WSP to discuss how they are focusing on their jobs during a pandemic. Both share the changes in their work environment and how they are able to maintain their adaptation efforts in these trying times. Also, Dr. Gabriel Henderson comes on to share a paper he wrote that looks at early efforts to develop climate adaptation legislation during the Carter administration. Learn how these early efforts at resilience inform what we are seeing today in the adaptation space.

Topics covered:

• Interview with Shaun Martin of World Wildlife Fund on how his adaptation program is responding to the pandemic.
• How ‘flattening the curve’ for Covid-19 can be applied to climate change.
• Emily Wasley of WSP discusses how she’s responding to the pandemic and how WSP is continuing their adaptation work.
• Gabriel Henderson discusses a paper he published looking at the early history of climate resilience/adaptation that was proposed the late 1970s!
• Discussion of how early efforts at resilience planning informed later adaptation efforts.

In episode 108 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Jisung Park, assistant professor at the Luskin School of Public Affairs at UCLA.  The two talk about Jisung’s research, showing how increased temperatures can negatively impact student academic performance. Also, rising temperatures can lower worker productively, seriously impacting the labor market. As the world warms, what will that mean for the world’s economy. We also discuss the positives and negatives of adaptation solutions (air conditioning) to these emerging problems. Jisung also shares how UCLA is training the next generation of adaptation professionals.

In episode 106, a ‘rewind’ of episode 76 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons takes a journey with the Freedom to Breath bus tour on location in New Orleans. During his visit, Doug attends a town hall on women and minority groups talking about climate resilience; a visit to Africatown to learn about the legacy of racism and environmental pollution and a visit to a protest community that is also serving as a gateway for refugees fleeing storm events and climate change. Women, tribal members, people of color and members of the LGBT community talk about how climate uniquely impacts them and what steps they are taking to adapt to climate change. It’s an exciting episode, with interviews with minority voices on the front lines of climate change. Bonus material, Doug interviews Marc O’Brien of The Determined podcast on the new climate podcast web site they’ve created to highlight the growing number of climate podcasters!
