242: Shaping Policy with Geoscience - AGI's Critical Needs Document

"The geosciences cover everything from the air we breathe to the ground we walk on, and our job is to make sure policymakers see its critical value. Our reports are about translating complex science into something everyone can understand and use."

David Wunsch discusses how geoscience can guide policy decisions that impact daily life, focusing on AGI's Critical Needs Document that outlines priorities for geoscience during political transitions. He emphasizes the importance of clear, accessible communication to bridge the gap between science and policy. The conversation touches on critical minerals, groundwater, and national security, highlighting the value of cross-disciplinary collaboration. David also encourages listeners to get involved in policy discussions to drive informed decision-making and counter misinformation.
