Science to Policy

My role within international networks aims to bridge the gap between high-impact, low-probability polar thresholds, political decision-making and society. This requires to bridge the paleoclimate community and the present-day and future climate communities as well as to translate and communicate the research in different languages to make the science findings actionable.
