About the Workshop<\/strong>
\nThe Metcalf Institute Annual Science Immersion Workshop provides professional journalists with hands-on experience in field and laboratory science with expertise from leading scientists and policymakers who are working to project the impacts of global change, identify adaptation measures, and investigate the most effective ways to communicate these challenges. The workshop addresses topics of global significance while focusing on local and regional case studies in and around Narragansett Bay, one of the world\u2019s best-studied estuaries. Held at the URI Graduate School of Oceanography, one of the nation\u2019s premier oceanographic research institutions, the Metcalf Workshop provides an intense week of learning in the field, classroom and lecture hall.<\/p>\n
