Environment Webinars

Join the Northern Rockies Fire Science Network and the Northwest Fire Science Consortium for a webinar from Spencer Vieira (ORISE Fellow at the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center) presenting his research on larch regeneration! Fire plays a critical role in forests of the Western United States (US), but as wildfire and climate deviate from historical patterns, increasing fire activity may significantly alter forest ecosystems.

A Conversation with Dan Egan: Join Dan Egan, Pulitzer Prize-nominated author of The Devil's Element: Phosphorus and a World Out of Balance and The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, for a conversation about the role of phosphorus in our daily lives, how it impacts our environment, and its role in shaping agriculture. Sponsored by the Finger Lakes Land Trust and the Finger Lakes Institute at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.

People of color are more likely to breathe dirty air, drink contaminated water, and live near hazardous waste sites, industrial agriculture operations, and other sources of pollution. The accelerating impacts of climate change are having additional disproportionate effects on minoritized populations. This talk will discuss structural determinants of environmental health disparities and community-engaged research to develop decision-support tools that advance environmental justice.

Poor recreational water quality poses a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) to beach goers engaging in water activities. In this webinar, we will discuss the environmental factors influencing beach water quality in Canada and present key findings of the project. The speakers, Dr. Johanna Sanchez and Dr. Binyam Desta, will share their research on enteric infections and the effect on health outcomes, with a focus on water, hygiene, and sanitation. Join us to gain a greater understanding of the factors affecting water quality and how they can assist in timely decision-making and risk communication strategies to reduce recreational water illness risks among beachgoers.

Cities are the main contributors to pollution and climate change, but they have also the potential of becoming a real driving force of the energy transition, leading by example and exceeding EU neutrality targets. This opportunity can be easily unlocked by local and regional authorities with the right tools for easier planning and implementation of energy and climate strategies. This event aims to present some tools which can help the local actors make significant steps towards climate neutrality and foster discussion between stakeholders from different levels of governance: from regional authorities, national governments and European institutions.

Join us on January 31, 2024 from 10:00 - 11:30 am PST for a webinar on strategies for accessing funding under EPA's Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) Program, qualifying for funding, and getting involved in local climate action plans. This event is hosted by California Resource Recovery Association, Californians Against Waste, California Product Stewardship Council, and Zero Waste USA. The CPR Campaign is a joint effort of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, Zero Waste USA, and the National Recycling Coalition to uplift waste reduction and materials conservation projects under the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction (CPR) Grants Program. A zero-waste framework embedding waste prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies rooted in and serving local communities will protect the climate while enhancing social equity, economic opportunities, food systems resilience, and quality of life. Speakers: Scott Beckner Senior Environmental Scientist, CalRecycle Katherine Blauvelt Circular Economy Campaign Director, Industrious Labs Kinley Deller Program Project Manager, King County Moderated by: Leslie Lukacs Executive Director, Zero Waste Sonoma
