Maria Carmen Lemos' broad research interests are related to climate adaptation and the role of knowledge in building adaptive capacity. She is particularly interested in understanding: (a) the co-production of science and decision-making and the creation of actionable knowledge; (b) the intersection between development and climate, especially concerning the relationship between anti-poverty programs and risk management; (c) the use of climate information in building adaptive capacity in different sectors (e.g. drought planning, water management, agriculture, and urban planning); and (d) the impact of technocratic decision-making on issues of democracy and equity.
Lemos was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR5) and the Fourth US National Climate Assessment (NCA4), contribute to IPCC-AR4, and has served in a number of the US National Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences committees including Restructuring Federal Climate Research to Meet the Challenges of Climate Change (2007 and 2009), America Climate Choice Science Panel (2010) and the Board on Environmental Change and Society (2008-2014) and the Council Committee to Advise the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)—(2011-13). (Copied from https://seas.umich.edu/research/faculty/maria-carmen-lemos) About Marias's speech:
Maria's speech will focus on what students at a small rural campus and other citizens in rural Michigan can do about climate change. She is planning to talk about the main impacts of climate change expected for the Great Lakes region, what organizations such as GLISA are doing in the region to co-produce knowledge and find solutions to prepare and adapt and how these organizations have worked with different communities, including students, governments and stakeholders (farmers, water managers, urban planners) to find solutions. If there is any spare time, Maria will also tell us about her current research in climate adaptation.

We need your help! The Siena Height' Sustainable College Committee was established in the fall of 2013 to promote sustainability into all college processes. In 2019 we were awarded with the STARS Bronze certification after an in depth review of sustainability at Siena. This showed there is much more work to be done. No gift is too small.
