About the Speakers:
Vocation: Social Science Extension Specialist, California Sea Grant, Delta Stewardship Council
Goal: "We would really appreciate the resident's participation in the survey."
Jessica Rudnick is an environmental social scientist focused on better understanding human decision-making and behavior change around complex social-environmental issues. She completed her PhD and MS in Ecology at UC Davis, where her focus was on farmer behavior and agriculture-environmental governance. In her position at the Delta Stewardship Council, she is focusing on 1) building a collaborative social science community in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta; 2) synthesizing existing data on stakeholders' uses, values and perceptions of the Delta as a place; 3) establishing longitudinal monitoring of the 'social health' of the Delta through recurring surveys and focus groups with key stakeholder groups; and 4) extension programs that focus on community capacity-building for policy engagement and youth environmental policyeducation and training opportunities.
