What is Science & Environmental Communication?
By exploring communication strategies in Science & Environmental Communication, faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students can find ways to address some of the world's most pressing problems. In order to tackle these problems, researchers and practitioners can develop evidence-based, research-driven communication campaigns. By leveraging communication channels, information sources, graphics, and messages in theory-driven ways, these campaigns can have an impact on environmental behavior change for the better.
