Move over Captain Planet, there's some new Planeteers in town. And with their forces combined, they are helping us think globally, and act locally!
Join us as we interview Carson MacPherson-Krutsky, a research scientist who works for Boise State University and the Natural Hazards Center at CU-Boulder and is a co-founder of the Hazard and Climate Change Resilience Institute (HCRI). Learn how HCRI is using science to build community resilience to adapt to change and thrive in a world that produces chronic stresses (e.g., climate change) and acute shocks (e.g., wildfires, pandemics, etc.).
