Conversation with a Climate Scientist; A Supercharged World

This week's show is all about climate science, how things like drought, floods and fires impact rural Victoria. 

Lana Nguyen from A Climate for Art chat to Dr. Linden Ashcroft, who explores the convergence of climate science, cultural memory, and Australian regional identity.

She examines how extreme weather reshapes community narratives and stresses that effective climate communication must transcend data to resonate with lived experiences.

Emphasizing storytelling and media literacy as vital tools for resilience, Linden advocates for diverse, multi-scale responses to the crisis, highlighting narrative's power to bridge divides and inspire collective action.

Dr Linden Ashcroft: is a senior lecturer in climate science and science communication at The University of Melbourne who grew up in rural Victoria on Yorta Yorta Country. 

Lana Nguyen: is a part of A Climate for Art, and is an independent curator, organiser and producer on projects that stem from the politics and cultures of place. 

Thanks to A Climate for Art and the Science Gallery for the upcoming Radio Climate installation, that is a part of the EMERGENCE[Y] exhibition at the Science Gallery on Friday the 30th of October
