"Keeping people safe as the climate continues to change is a big challenge," said Mach, an associate professor of marine ecosystems and society at the UM Rosenstiel School. "Because climate change is long-term with widespread impacts, knowledge of the risks is particularly important for prudent societal investments."

In an article for the journal Climate Policy, Mach and coauthor Noah W. Feinstein, an associate professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison, describe the importance of education in adapting to climate change. Their paper, "Three roles for education in climate change adaptation," argues that educational tools -- including schools, simulations, and on-the-job training -- have the potential to substantially accelerate the adaptation process.
