A RED Lab and NOAA Virtual Workshop June 6 & 7, 2023
Research Knowledge Transitions
& Compound Hazards
Generating Ideas for Adapting Social Science to Your Workspace
About
On the past 6 and 7 of June 2023, RED Lab held this virtual workshop with NOAA and research collaborators. Here we present the contents and materials to the Weather Community.
During the event, we learned how different groups in the Weather Enterprise (e.g., broadcast meteorologists, emergency managers, NWS forecasters) think about transitioning new social science research into their workplaces. Also, we discussed how preliminary findings from interviews and surveys about tornadoes and flash floods (TORFFS) and landfalling tropical cyclones compound hazards could be helpful to different agencies and organizations in their operations.
