Workshop: Regional Resiliency & Vulnerability Assessments for Ocean Acidification
Date/Time: Wednesday, October 9, 2024 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM EDT
A workshop sponsored by the NOAA Ocean Acidification Program (OAP).
The OAP is hosting a workshop on Regional Resiliency & Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) for ocean acidification. RVAs are interdisciplinary projects that supplement the physical, chemical and biological science of ocean acidification with social science to assess regional vulnerability. As currently-funded projects are wrapping up, the OAP is launching a call for another round of RVA projects as it seeks to expand and diversify its portfolio on the Human Dimensions of ocean acidification.
The goals of this workshop are:
- To hear from past RVAs on lessons learned and next steps;
- To address common challenges (such as engagement with Indigenous communities, Tribes, and/or other interested groups; working in data-poor regions; and building interdisciplinary teams); and,
- To facilitate networking and collaborations between OAP-funded PIs and new interested partners.
If you have any questions about the workshop and/or the RVA funding opportunity, please contact Alexandra Puritz, OAP Human Dimensions Research Manager (alexandra.puritz@noaa.gov).
