Olivia Mason, Associate Professor of Oceanography in EAOS, will use her fellowship year to start an FSU climate resilience institute (FSU-CRI). The goal of FSU-CRI is to bring together FSU faculty who work on climate science to facilitate cross-discipline proposal development and ultimately funding. First, Olivia will recruit interested faculty; second, she will build a public website to promote the ongoing climate science research being done by FSU faculty; third, she will organize a single day symposium at FSU to bring together all interested faculty who carry out climate science research. All parts of this initiative are aimed at recruiting top notch climate science students and securing funding for researchers.
