How does climate change interface with society? Richard (Ricky) Rood works to answer that question, and talked with Michigan Minds about how his work. Rood is professor at the U-M Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLASP), with a courtesy appointment at the U-M School for Environment and Sustainability (UMSEAS). He is also the Dow Sustainability Distinguished Faculty Fellow in the College of Engineering. His primary research interests are on climate change problem solving—in particular climate change and its interfaces with different aspects of society, and how to accelerate the use of climate information, planning and design in management. He explains how he uses climate change information to educate students on climate change problem solving, specifically when teaching students from a variety of fields.
