Topics
Climate change and associated impacts (e.g., sustained droughts, repeated and severe flooding, increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes and cyclones, saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, increased risks of wildfire), affect people, and these impacts potentially lead to temporary or permanent displacement within regions. This workshop will consider how an Earth systems science approach could be used to address climate change impacts, as discussed in the 2021 National Academies’ report, Next Generation Earth Systems Science at the National Science Foundation, and their influence on human migration.

·2024
Earth systems science aims to discover and integrate knowledge on the structure, nature, and scales of interactions among natural (e.g., physical, chemical, and biological) and social (e.g., cultural, socioeconomic, and geopolitical) processes. Climate-related migration can be temporary or permanent...
