On February 23, 2022, 3-5pm PST, we will be holding a virtual symposium focused on Cascades Glacier and Water Resilience. Sponsored by the University of Oregon Office of the Vice President for Research Innovation, Just Futures Institute, Earth Sciences Department and Environmental Studies Program, this symposium will bring together researchers and environmental practitioners in the Cascades region to define areas of research that can contribute to climate adaptation and greater climate justice surrounding issues of glaciers and water.
We have invited environmental practitioners from two Pacific Northwest watersheds who will give short presentations on their work and how their communities are responding to the risks associated with climate change and glacier recession. Following their presentations, we will generate ideas about research, collaboration, and engagement opportunities that can help address community needs and interests for climate adaptation and justice. It is our hope that these conversations will result in greater collaboration with the region’s environmental practitioners and local communities.
