Enabling Enduring Evidence-Based Policy for the Southern Ocean Through Cultural Arts Practices
This paper provides a perspective on how art and cross-cultural conversations can facilitate understanding of important scientific processes, outcomes and conclusions, using the Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean (MEASO) as a case study. First, we reflect on our rationale and approac...
