Relationships are at the heart of actionable science which is exactly what the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center’s Ambassadors Program is built to foster.
Now in its second year, the program provides $20,000 seed grants to University of Alaska faculty to do the foundational work that makes meaningful climate adaptation research possible. The researchers selected to do this are building trust with community and agency partners, collecting preliminary data and bridging the gap between science and practical questions.
