Ken Frank at Michigan State University discusses his research into modeling of networks and authorship of documents on climate change and adaptation in the Great Lakes region. This presentation was part of the GLISA Symposium 2011 on November 3, 2011. To watch all videos from the symposium, please visit glisa.umich.edu/great_lakes_climate/glisa_symposium.php. About network analysis: By surveying stakeholders on the people and organizations with whom they communicate and collaborate on climate-related issues, we are better able to understand the structure of relationships around these issues and develop more effective engagement strategies for subsequent assessment activities. This network analysis will also provide critical information about stakeholder views, concerns, behaviors and preferences. This information will be vital in developing effective engagement strategies and allow us to follow changes in stakeholder views and the structure of the network over time.
