Description: Ecosystems are frequently ravaged by extreme natural events like hurricanes, flooding, drought, and wildfires. We invite researchers to present successes, challenges, and lessons learned when communicating science during emotionally charged and extreme events (full presentations or lightning talk format). Training will be provided to improve communication skills through emotionally-charged events.
