1. What is an emerging 'need' that could be addressed by OSU's transdisciplinary capabilities?
  2. One of the signature areas of excellence in OSU's strategic plan is advancing the science of sustainable ecosystems. What is your discipline's perspective on sustainable ecosystems? If your discipline were to broaden that perspective to encompass other disciplines, how would that change your discipline’s perspective?
  3. In light of what you know about the threats associated with climate change, what do you think is the most important thing we could be doing as citizens and members of the OSU community? Why are these important things and what is the first step toward implementing them?
  4. How and where does your discipline draw the line between informing and advocating? Which kinds of advocacy are acceptable? How ought the scientific community react to advocacy?
  5. Do your research findings support certain courses of action over others? What are your responsibilities as researchers? How could your work best inform policy?
  6. What do you think is necessary for success in interdisciplinary collaborations? How do you envision success?
  7. What are the challenges for implementing climate change adaptation in Oregon? Who should identify pertinent questions regarding climate change? Scientists or stakeholders?
