As communities across the world increasingly face the rapid advent of environmental impacts, there is an urgent need for science-based actions and solutions. AGU's Science and Society (SY) section works to grow a community within AGU that actively facilitates stronger connections between scientists and societal partners, and supports the development of societally-relevant knowledge to benefit humanity. In this panel, the audience will learn about SY's goals and activities under 5 key thematic areas - Science Policy, Community & Citizen Science, Science Communication, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Arts and Sciences. Panelists, representing leaders in Science-Society relevant topics, will share opportunities and challenges of working in Science-Society related topics and discuss ways to advance transdisciplinary collaborations across the geosciences. The panel will include time for audience Q&A and engagement, so that broader AGU attendees can provide feedback on how SY's activities can help to bridge the science-society gap across AGU sections.
