This Presidential Session brings together Tribal leaders and organizers from Louisiana with atmospheric and earth system science partners sharing from their experiences in implementing convergence science together. The partnership is through The Rising Voices Changing Coasts' National Indigenous and Earth Sciences Convergence Hub, a NSF-funded large-scale Coastlines and People Hubs (CoPe) project that brings together university-trained scientists and Indigenous knowledge-holders to study the interactions between natural, human-built, and social systems in coastal populated environments. The locally-focused, place-based session will share experiential-based observations of extreme and increasingly common weather events, including rapid storm intensification, hurricane season, tidal (sunny-day/nuisance) flooding, and more. The roundtable-style conversation will include weaving in stories and actions, with the challenges and opportunities for weaving the place- and lived-experienced-based scientific information with western-science derived tools to support communities' informed climate adaptation decision-making.
