Beyond the Research: MACH Broader Impacts Work

To support two of MACH's primary goals ('to do science that is useful and used' and 'to train the next generation of leaders in transdisciplinary climate research and engagement'), the work the MACH team does goes "beyond the research". MACH continues to broaden participation in the STEM workforce by engaging local community college students and faculty in community- engaged research experiences. MACH will train a new generation of leaders (who are currently students, postdocs, junior faculty, and professionals) in tools, concepts, and professional science translation skills. And filmmakers and undergraduate students will produce documentary films to share compelling stories about climate risk and its management. The outputs of these efforts are documented below.
