“…On the other hand, some management agencies want to produce a publication sooner than the researcher may be comfortable with publishing the data, or at least sooner than it takes to go through the process of peer‐reviewed publication (Jacobs ; van Kerkhoff and Lebel ; Vogel et al . ). While the non‐peer‐reviewed “gray” literature can sometimes be produced more quickly, researchers generally do not receive the same (or in many cases, any) credit for these documents, and they are typically not widely cited nor read by academics.…”

“…The requirements for obtaining a tenure-track position or tenure itself mean that adding a few years to a project's timeline, which effective TE can sometimes require, may prevent early-career ecologists from engaging in this work (Foster et al 2015).

Interest in translational ecology (TE) -a research approach that yields useful scientific outcomes through ongoing collaboration between scientists and stakeholders -is growing among both of these groups. Translational ecology brings together participants from different cultures and with different professional incentives. We address ways to cultivate a culture of TE, such as investing time in understanding one another's decision context and incentives, and outline common entry points to translational research, such as working through boundary organizations, building place-based research programs, and being open to opportunities as they arise. We also highlight common institutional constraints on scientists and practitioners, and ways in which collaborative research can overcome these limitations, emphasizing considerations for navigating TE within current institutional frameworks, but also pointing out ways in which institutions are evolving to facilitate translational research approaches.

“…Ongoing developments on climate services for adaptation may support this process (Brasseur & Gallardo, 2016;Hewitt et al, 2012;Le Cozannet, Nicholls, et al, 2017;Vogel et al, 2016). Further empirical research is needed to map them and, ultimately, involve them in the design of appropriate sea level high-end products.…”

“…As the meaning of high-end scenarios depend on the risk aversion of stakeholders, an ongoing dialog between stakeholders and the scientific community is critical to define the needs and develop together appropriate solutions that are scientifically rigorous: that is, coproduction is critical (Hall et al, 2019;Vogel et al, 2016). However, a solid conceptual framework that links sea level science with stakeholder needs and which is an essential step to provide guidance for stakeholders is lacking.…”

Framework for High‐End Estimates of Sea Level Rise for Stakeholder Applications

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

An approach to analyze high-end sea level rise is presented to provide a conceptual framework for high-end estimates as a function of time scale, thereby linking robust sea level science with stakeholder needs. Instead of developing and agreeing on a set of high-end sea level rise numbers or using an expert consultation, our effort is focused on the essential task of providing a generic conceptual framework for such discussions and demonstrating its feasibility to address this problem. In contrast, information about high-end sea level rise projections was derived previously either from a likely range emerging from the highest view of emissions in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment (currently the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 scenario) or from independent ad hoc studies and expert solicitations. Ideally, users need high-end sea level information representing the upper tail of a single joint sea level frequency distribution, which considers all plausible yet unknown emission scenarios as well as involved physical mechanisms and natural variability of sea level, but this is not possible. In the absence of such information we propose a framework that would infer the required information from explicit conditional statements (lines of evidence) in combination with upper (plausible) physical bounds. This approach acknowledges the growing uncertainty in respective estimates with increasing time scale. It also allows consideration of the various levels of risk aversion of the diverse stakeholders who make coastal policy and adaptation decisions, while maintaining scientific rigor.

From Ice Sheets to Main Streets: Intermediaries Connect Climate Scientists to Coastal Adaptation

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the societal relevance of sea‐level research, a knowledge‐to‐action gap remains between researchers and coastal communities. In the agricultural and water‐management sectors, intermediaries such as consultants and extension agencies have a long and well‐documented history of helping to facilitate the application of scientific knowledge on the ground. However, the role of such intermediaries in adaptation to sea‐level rise, though potentially of vital importance, has been less thoroughly explored. In this commentary, we describe three styles of science intermediation that can connect researchers working on sea‐level projections with decision‐makers relying on those projections. We illustrate these styles with examples of recent and ongoing contexts for the application of sea‐level research, at different spatial scales and political levels ranging from urban development projects to international organizations. Our examples highlight opportunities and drawbacks for the researchers involved and communities adapting to rising seas.
