Climate Adaptation Collaboration Symposium

The newly formed Climate Adaptation Research Center is bringing UC Davis entities together to develop opportunities for cross-departmental collaboration opportunities.

The Symposium will highlight current research underway and present areas of expertise that center members can offer support and leadership in. Additionally, other campus centers and departments are invited to share new ideas for adaptation projects and research to support cross-department collaboration and problem solving of the most urgent and intersectional climate adaptation needs. This Symposium is an opportunity for campus research centers and departments to learn about one another’s adaptation efforts, discuss intersectional climate adaptation problems and develop working groups to address these problems through collaborative research, education and outreach between the centers.

The center has developed several topics for working groups formed at the symposium to discuss. These working groups will share adaptation problems in need of solutions and pose further questions for the Climate Adaptation Research Center to find answers to in partnership with other departments on campus. These working groups will continue to provide feedback to the CARC on groups to collaborate with and further develop research ideas. 

As a newly formed center on campus, the CARC's goal is to work jointly with other centers and add adaptation elements to existing activities in a supportive manner. As the working groups and new projects develop, the center will announce updates and collaboration opportunities to all its partners. If you are interested in collaborating on a project or research with the CARC, please connect with one of the center's co-directors, Michele Barbato, Erwan Monier, Katie Conlon, Eric Chu, Grey Monroe, or outreach manager, Sandra Hall.
