This study examines TV meteorologists as key climate change communicators worldwide. A survey of 204 experts from 81 countries highlights their strategies and challenges. Despite barriers like scientific complexity, misinformation, and skepticism, respondents stress TV's impact. They support clear, solutions-oriented messaging, engaging visuals, and social media to enhance understanding, counter misinformation, and drive climate action effectively.

Understanding climate change is crucial, but making it engaging for students can be challenging. Our study explores how gamification—turning learning into an interactive experience—can boost interest and knowledge. We designed Finding Gaia, a virtual treasure hunt where students solve challenges related to climate and geophysics. Results show increased awareness, motivation, and knowledge retention. This highlights the power of game-based learning in making science more accessible and impactful.

This study explores a university course fostering transformative learning of geoscience students. Exposure to diverse Arctic perspectives, from Indigenous to geopolitical, and reflection of belonging to expert community broadened their understanding of Arctic challenges and shaped their professional identities. Our findings emphasise importance of facilitation of critical reflection and building of supporting learning environment in developing responsible Arctic expertise.

Indigenous Ryukyuan music records the historical climate and geology of the Ryukyu Kingdom (21^st-century Okinawa Prefecture, Japan). By collaborating with Ryukyuan cultural practitioners, we find that two seafaring songs detail the winds, currents, and volcanoes that 18^th-century voyagers faced during envoys to Kyushu, Japan. Educators can use such observations in place-based learning to increase environmental science engagement in 21^st-century Okinawa and the Okinawan diaspora worldwide.

We conducted an immersive virtual reality (VR) lecture to teach geoscience topics to middle school students at an international school in Japan. The lecture proved both engaging and motivational for the students, with its primary strength lying in its ability to captivate their attention and foster a sense of freedom. While the results suggest that VR has the potential to be integrated into the broader geoscience curricula, further refinement is necessary to maximize its effectiveness.

We explore how creative storytelling and community engagement help coastal communities adapt to climate change. Set on a rapidly eroding UK coastline, young people built knowledge, fostered empathy, and inspired action through intergenerational dialogue. The project’s creative methods, including a co-created film, empowered participants to address local challenges. It developed a new climate praxis model, highlighting how these approaches drive climate action and enhance community resilience.

Our study explores how social media can drive change by examining the #UbirajaraBelongstoBR movement on Twitter. This movement protested the illegal export of a dinosaur fossil from Brazil to Germany. By analyzing nearly 40,000 tweets, we found that people worldwide—not just scientists—joined together online to challenge unethical practices in science. Our findings show that social media can mobilize diverse groups to influence policies and promote ethical standards in scientific research.

Our study presents a method to visualize how variations in the relationship of flood drivers like discharge and surge evolve over time. This method simplifies complex relationships, making it easier to understand evolving flood risks, especially as climate change increases these threats. By surveying a diverse group, we found that this visual approach could improve communication between scientists and non-experts, helping communities better prepare for compound flooding in a changing climate.

To design an exhibition on earth and environmental science research, we conducted an online survey on the thematic interests of potential future visitors. The responses were used to analyse the level of interest in predefined subject areas. Further topics of interest were extracted from open questions. The analysis of the interest levels in relation to the socio-demographic distribution of the participants provides an indication of which topics should be discussed in a future exhibition.
