January 14, 2024"Climate change in Ohio: What should you do?" Robyn Wilson There is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring, it is caused by people, it is bad for people, and we can solve it! We will walk through the evidence for these facts, with a focus on the impact of climate change in central Ohio and steps we can take as citizens to create a more resilient future. Robyn Wilson, PhD, is a professor in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University. Dr. Wilson is a behavioral decision scientist studying individual decisions under risk. She is also interested in the development of strategic communication efforts, as well as the design of decision support tools that assist individuals in making more informed choices. Her current research focus is on adaptation to climate-exacerbated hazards, and what motivates and constrains different land use and land management decisions on private and public lands. Science Sundays is a free lecture series open to the public that provides a wide range of current and emerging topics and issues in science that touch our everyday lives. Speakers are experts in their fields from on campus and around the world with experience in making their topics interesting and accessible for audiences of all ages, with or without a science background. |

Agricultural drainage helps farmers manage water levels on their farmland. When it rains extensively, farmers can help move that water out of the field. Automating that process helps farmers react more easily and precisely to changing water conditions. Dr. Vinayak Shedekar and Dr. Steve Lyons are testing an automated system with remote access via cellphone and computer to help producers more effectively manage water on their land. Learn more about this innovative project, halfway through their year of research, funded by the AgTech Innovation Hub, a collaboration between Nationwide, Ohio Farm Bureau, and the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University. |

How do songbirds migrate through Ohio? And how can understanding this movement help us better protect their habitat? School of Environment and Natural Resources master's student Zoe Korpi tracks white-throated sparrows as they migrate toward Lake Erie in the latest KX Science Happens Here. |
Controlling asian carp is the focus of the latest Knowledge Exchange (KX) Science Happens Here video with Kevin Fisher, a PhD student in the School of Environment and Natural Resources. In the video Kevin describes research conducted in the aquaculture lab, which seeks to answer how can we reduce invasive fish populations in Ohio's freshwater ecosystems? |
Watch the KX Science Happens Here: Tracing antibiotics in the food web What happens when antibiotics get into waterways? Concerned about the impact on people, master's student, Audrey Laiveling, works with river critters and analyzes water samples to study how antibiotic resistance moves through food webs at the Olentangy Wetland Research Park. This video is part of a series by the CFAES Knowledge Exchange (KX) at The Ohio State University. |
