These online talks are scheduled for a series of Fridays from 1 to 2:30 pm PT,  beginning April 2.

Join us on Friday, May 7, from 1-2:30pm PT as Robyn Wilson, Professor of Risk Analysis and Decision Science at the Ohio State University, will report on a recent survey of U.S. corn and soybean farmers climate adaptation decisions as they relate to experienced climate impacts, beliefs, and farmer identities. The results have implications for how farmers will adapt in the future, and ways to promote adaptation behaviors that yield greater resilience to a changing climate.
