This project will create a network of “Ask A Scientist” panels at ski resorts across the U.S. Panels will consist of two professional scientists who study climate change and one policy expert from Protect Our Winters (POW), a non-profit advocacy group focused on systematic political solutions to climate change. Scientists will cover global drivers and impacts of climate change, as well as impact on local conditions while the policy expert will address the importance of civic engagement and best practices when contacting elected representatives.
