Swamp School – February 12, 2013
Wetland Ferns of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic webinar will be held by Swamp School on February 12, 2013 from 1:00 p.m EST-3:00 p.m. EST. This session will focus on the most common ferns found in wetlands in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic region. It covers portions of the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont, Northcentral and Northeast, and the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplements to the US Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.

EPA – January 23, 2013
Join EPA's CRWU initiative for a webinar to learn more about the tools and resources available for drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater (water sector) utilities in fulfilling their public health and environmental missions. The webinar series begins with CRWU 101 to be held on January 23, 2013 with an introduction to the CRWU initiative and climate change adaptation planning. The topics then focus on specific tools to help water sector utilities understand and adapt to climate change impacts.

Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Network – December 4, 2012
Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Network will hold a webinar on Incorporating Ecosystem Services into Assessments of Climate Change Vulnerability and Adaptation by Suzanne Langridge of The Natural Capital Project on December 4, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. EST. Rising sea levels coupled with population growth along coasts make climate adaptation planning an imperative. The framework of ecosystem services can help managers understand how alternative management and climate scenarios are likely to affect a broad range of services delivered to people from coastal ecosystems. To support planners and decision-makers in their efforts to manage natural resources in the face of a changing climate, The Natural Capital Project is developing methods to incorporate ecosystem services into climate adaptation planning.For more information and to register, click here. |

NOAA – January 9, 2013
Planning for Coastal Adaptation: Global Sea Level Rise Scenarios for the U.S. National Climate Assessment webinar will be held on January 9, 2013 from 12:00-13:00 Eastern Time. A new NOAA Technical Report developed with federal and academic partners introduces four plausible scenarios for global sea level rise by 2100. Descriptions of the potential conditions are designed to help coastal dwellers and resource managers consider a range of possible responses.

Ohio State University – January 17, 2013
The Ohio State University will hold a webinar on Climate and Carbon Impacts on Productivity, Chemistry, and Invasive Species in the Great Lakes on January 17, 2013 from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET. The ecosystems of the Great Lakes are critical national resources, yet their large-scale functioning and interactions with climate change are poorly explained. How do physical drivers impact chemistry and ecology? How are invasive species reacting to physical change? How will the Great Lakes respond to increasing atmospheric CO2? Numerical models and data help us to answer these questions, and to identify future research priorities. This webinar will provide information about biogeochemistry, carbon cycling and invasive species in Lakes Superior and Michigan; impacts of physical change on carbon cycling and invasive species; and prospects for acidification of the Great Lakes due to CO2 uptake from the atmosphere.

EPA – December 11, 2012
EPA's Office of Atmospheric Programs will be hosting a webcast on December 11, 2012 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM EST, showcasing tribes who are implementing energy conservation, materials recycling, and adaptation programs. Learn how the Gila River Indian Community and Choctaw Nation are reducing greenhouse gas emissions through recycling and energy efficiency audits. Learn how the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is integrating climate change considerations into their decision-making and water management programs. Also learn about resources and funding ideas to design and implement climate change programs that may be right for your tribe. To register, click here. |
Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Network – January 15, 2013
Ecosystem-Based Management Tools Network will hold a webinar on Mapping and Visualizing Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding Impacts by Jennifer Halleran and Doug Marcy of NOAA Coastal Services Center on January 15, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. EST. It is one thing to have a discussion or write about a one- or two-foot rise in the ocean surface and the potential impacts to a local community, and it is another to show someone a map, highlighting the areas that will potentially be impacted. The ability to visualize the potential height and inland extent of water gives us a better understanding of the corresponding impacts and consequences. Over the past several years, the lessons learned from investigating pilot sea level change mapping applications have led to the development of a next generation sea level rise and coastal flooding viewer.
