Scientists communicate to non-peer audiences through numerous pathways,
including websites, blogs, public lectures, media interviews, and
educational collaborations. A considerable amount of time and money is
invested in this public engagement, and these efforts are to a large
extent responsible for the public perception of science. This special
issue encourages critical reflection on science communication practices
and provides an opportunity for science communicators to share best
practices and experiences with evaluation and research in this field.
The objective of this special issue is to bring together contributions
from a broad range of disciplines across both hydrology and natural
hazards in relation to best practices in effective science communication
and education. Contributions are solicited that address these issues and
that have a clear objective and research methodology. Case studies and
other experiences are also welcome as long as they are rigorously
presented and evaluated.
If you are interested in contributing to this paper, please submit your
