​Geological Survey Ireland staff had a productive and inspiring workshop this morning on Earth Science Communication with Eileen van der Flier-Keller from Simon Fraser University, Vancouver.

The interactive workshop covered communication approaches and comprised exercises and tips on how best to tailor our messages depending on audiences, along with pointers for material to develop.

This workshop was also in line with our Geoscience 2018 conference outcomes. The discussion panel concluded that communicating better on what we do and how geosciences are part of the solution to 'meeting the challenges' society face in terms of resources independence, sustainability,  economic resilience and addressing climate change.
