A Brief History of the MSU Extension Climate Science Team Jane Mangold Associate Professor, Extension Invasive Plant Specialist Dept. of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences

MSU-Extension Mission MSU Extension improves the lives of Montana citizens by providing unbiased research-based education and information that integrates learning, discovery and engagement to strengthen the social, economic and environmental well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

MSU-E Program Areas Agriculture and natural resources Family and consumer sciences Community and business development Youth development

MSU-E Climate Science Working Group spring/summer 2014 1. Inventory current climate programming 2. Design and implement a survey of Extension faculty to determine demand for future climate programming 3. Identify opportunities and develop recommendations Working group members: Fabian Menalled, Virginia Knerr, Larry Brence, Jane Mangold, Rachel Endecott, Bobbie Roos, Rose Malisani, Myla Kelly, Kent McVay, Dan Lucas, Paul Lachapelle, Cody Stone

Survey Overview Modeled after similar effort at North Carolina Cooperative Extension Direct request from Extension Director to respond 24% response rate 62% of respondents were county agents

Current or potential climate change programming in Extension is not relevant to my program area 72% disagrees or strongly disagrees that climate change programming is not relevant to their program area

There is not enough applied information available regarding current or potential climate change programming in Extension 65% agree or strongly agree there is not enough applied information available

Top 5 Topic Areas Weed and invasive plant management Cropping systems modeling and decision-making Cover crops management Hydrologic systems and water quality Soil fertility

How willing are you to participate in professional development opportunities? 94% are somewhat or very willing to participate in professional development opportunities

Working Group Recommendations Establish MSU-E Climate Science team Hold 1-2 day climate science training for MSU-E specialists and agents Support continued professional development and programming in the area of climate science Promote cross county, regional, and interdisciplinary climate science programs Adopt MSU-E Climate Science Program Framework as a means to define program areas related to climate science and outline goals of MSU-E Climate Science Team

MSU-E Climate Science Program Framework Increase the number of MSU-E faculty with skills and knowledge necessary to effectively address climate variability and its impacts. Create opportunities to engage in, discuss, plan and implement educational programs about climate science, climate change, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation. Design and deliver science-based research, relevant educational resources, and engaged leadership programs on climate science, climate change, impacts, adaptation, and mitigation to the people and communities of Montana.

MSU-E Climate Science Team Formed October 2015 Chair Jane Mangold, October 2015—June 2016 Brad Bauer, January 2016—current 20+ members Campus and county-based faculty Provide leadership for programming efforts, training, resource development, grant opportunities, interdisciplinary programs, and communication Cooperate with USDA Northern Plains Regional Climate Hub

Extension Climate Science Conference December 8-10, 2015 Climate science basics Stakeholder panels Agriculture Natural Resources Families, youth and community Tools and resources for discussing climate science Program area group discussions Strategizing and team-building

MSU Extension Activities Today’s forum Forums on agricultural resiliency Topic-specific presentations at workshops across state and region Partnering with others on climate-related activities

Personal Reflections Breaking the ice can be cold and uncomfortable Start the conversation on common ground Listen Return to common ground Make it relevant Stick to the science Focus on adaptation and resilience Discuss mitigation as opportunity present itself Avoid being overly negative

More Reflections Large issue which often seems insurmountable Small but earnest audience Slow but meaningful progress How can we increase size of audience and progress faster?
