This native grain has declined substantially in its historic range on the St. Louis River and beyond. Due to the importance of manoomin to tribal health\, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and the state of Minnesota developed a health impact assessment to convey the importance of wild rice to Ojibwe people. Schuldt will speak on the assessment and share reflections from her career spent studying and protecting water. \nThe Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Sea Grant programs offer this series of informal evening talks about the St. Louis River Estuary. Everyone is invited and refreshments will be available. \nCheck the River Talk website for details.

His training is in environmental sociology\, survey design and implementation\, recreation and tourism choice behavior\, organizational behavioral networks\, and social-psychological interaction with the coast. He has extensive experience in working with state and local municipalities to build capacity in coastal conservation\, and community resilience. He also has a portfolio of projects that lend technical assistance to the National Weather Service to enhance its social science capacity. Working currently for NOAA\, and formerly for both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Park Service\, he has gained unique perspectives of how the public and institutions understand\, perceive\, and use natural resources\, particularly in coastal areas. He is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Charleston\, where he works with students on an array of human dimensions-based research topics. Chris received his PhD in 2005 from East Carolina University.\nBrenna Sweetman\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nBrenna is social scientist with NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management based at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa\, AL. Her work focuses on integrating social science to support sound decision-making to address complex coastal and water resource challenges. Through partnerships\, collaboration and the integration of social and natural sciences\, she works to better understand the data\, tool and information needs to protect and maintain coastal communities\, ecosystems and economies. Prior to working with NOAA\, she worked in Central America on coastal and marine natural resource management topics and instructed environmental education. She holds a Master’s in Geography from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Spanish from the University of Pittsburgh.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content] URL:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/event/social-science-basics-writing-effective-survey-questions/ LOCATION:Virtual Training CATEGORIES:Coastal Training Program,General ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://lakesuperiornerr.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/319/2021/10/effective-survey-questions-event.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Karina Heim":MAILTO:karina.heim@wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20211202T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20211202T113000 DTSTAMP:20260427T125838 CREATED:20221123T200317Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221123T200317Z UID:3841-1638439200-1638444600@lakesuperiornerr.org SUMMARY:Social Science Basics: Writing Effective Survey Questions DESCRIPTION:Take this course if you… \n\nAre not trained in survey design but are tasked with administering surveys.\nWould like to develop a more critical eye for what “good” survey questions look like\, and how to maximize feedback.\n\nAbout the Course\nSurveys are a popular information collection tool to help coastal managers understand their stakeholders and quickly assess large populations.

Working currently for NOAA\, and formerly for both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the National Park Service\, he has gained unique perspectives of how the public and institutions understand\, perceive\, and use natural resources\, particularly in coastal areas. He is an adjunct faculty member at the College of Charleston\, where he works with students on an array of human dimensions-based research topics. Chris received his PhD in 2005 from East Carolina University. \nBrenna Sweetman\, NOAA Office for Coastal Management\nBrenna is social scientist with NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management based at the National Water Center in Tuscaloosa\, AL. Her work focuses on integrating social science to support sound decision-making to address complex coastal and water resource challenges. Through partnerships\, collaboration and the integration of social and natural sciences\, she works to better understand the data\, tool and information needs to protect and maintain coastal communities\, ecosystems and economies. Prior to working with NOAA\, she worked in Central America on coastal and marine natural resource management topics and instructed environmental education. She holds a Master’s in Geography from the University of Alabama and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Spanish from the University of Pittsburgh.

Later\, Karina applied lessons and best practices of data viz design in her work as a comprehensive plan writer\, revising public documents to reflect current data trends in a clear\, accessible way. In her current position\, she works with decision-makers in the Lake Superior basin on coastal issues\, where important ideas are spoken through data all of the time.
