SUMMARY:A River Runs By It :The Environmental and Societal Benefits of Riparian Buffers live online with Dr Stephen Souza.
DESCRIPTION:Join the NJ Highlands Coalition with Dr Stephen Souza to learn about riparian buffers; what they are\, why they exist\, and how they protect water quality in streams and rivers?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUsing real examples in New Jersey Dr Souza will review the regulatory definitions of a riparian buffer\, and explain the societal and ecological services they provide. This webinar will also cover the importance of restoring stream banks to enhance water quality and promote healthy aquatic life and fish populations. \nDuring this event we will also hear from Elliott Ruga\, Policy Director for the NJ Highlands Coalition about our work to protect critical waterways in northern New Jersey. \nFollowing the presentations we will open the floor to Q&A with these experts.

SUMMARY:Webinar on Managing Polluted Runoff in Southeastern PA
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by: Darby Creek Valley Association\, Montgomery County Planning Commission\, Pennsylvania Resources Council\, Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust\, Sustainable Business Network\, Temple University\, Villanova University\, Wissahickon Trails\n\nWe’ve all experienced storms that dump huge amounts of rain in just a few hours. This trend doesn’t just clog up traffic in the moment — it pollutes our waterways\, can damage homes and businesses\, and creates dangerous flooding. There are green solutions that our communities can put in place to make them more resilient to climate change and innovative ways to pay for them. I hope you’ll join us on February 3 to learn more.\n\nRSVP to reserve your spot today\, and we’ll follow up with the link and call-in information to join us!\n\n\nOrganized by: Pennsylvania Environmental Council\, Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership\, and Conservation Voters of PA

SUMMARY:Language of Nature
DESCRIPTION:JANUARY 28 & FEBRUARY 4\, 11\, 18 \n7 – 8:30 p.m.\nAdults\, Virtual program \nThis popular reading series is taught by Dr. Winifred Hughes Spar\, Ph.D.\, a former English literature professor at Princeton University. She is the author of a scholarly book published by Princeton University Press and her more recent\, Frost Flowers\, published by Finishing Line Press. Her poems\, many on the subject of nature\, have appeared in Poetry Magazine and other journals. She has been the recipient of two Individual Artist Fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. \nThis upcoming course will examine what is happening to nature writing under the inescapable pressures of climate change and environmental crisis. We will explore our evolving human relationship with the natural world through the eyes of contemporary poets. Discover eco-poetry and eco-criticism\, tracing the movement from mid-20th century awakenings to current issues of environmental justice\, biocentrism\, and “the end of nature.” \nEach week we will read and discuss selections from the work of such authors as Gary Snyder\, Joy Harjo\, Camille Dungy\, Tommy Pico\, and more.\nFor additional information\, please contact the Watershed at education@thewatershed.org or email winnie@winifredhughes.com Discount available for members.

SUMMARY:Effectiveness of Medical and Cloth Masks for COVID-19 Protection
DESCRIPTION:Despite wide-spread adoption of face mask use for personal protection and to help stop the spread of COVID-19\, there is little or no public information available on the performance and efficacy of different types of masks or modifications on existing face coverings. Important questions\, such as which type of mask to buy or make\, what modifications can be made to disposable medical-grade surgical masks and other face coverings\, or the compatibility of facial hair with protective face coverings\, remain. \nEPA researchers are working to change that. \nIn a series of projects started at the request of UNC Hospitals\, EPA investigators have collaborated with University of North Carolina partners to test the fitted filtering efficiency of face coverings available to hospital workers and the general public\, as well as the relative performance of face coverings for individuals with beards. \nThis presentation will highlight three of these projects and their impact on: \n\nInforming hospital infection control personnel on the relative performance of alternative materials and practices that can guide prioritization during shortages in the supply of high efficiency respirators.\nProviding a relative comparison of the fitted filtering efficiency of improvised\, disposable and reusable face coverings used as personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic\, informing members of the public on their best options.\nEvaluating the efficacy of popular modifications reported to increase the efficiency of disposable surgical and procedure masks worn by the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nExamining the relative performance of protective facial coverings against the SARS-CoV-2 virus for people with beards\, including an interventional approach to improve filtering efficiency for those who grow beards as a personal\, religious\, cultural or medical necessity.

SUMMARY:Superfund at 40: The Future of Superfund: Has the Mission Expanded\, and Will It Be Permanent?
DESCRIPTION: On December 11\, 1980\, President Jimmy Carter signed into law the Comprehensive Environmental Response\, Compensation\, and Liability Act\, aka “Superfund.” Forty years later\, Superfund cleanups continue in full stride across the country. \nTo commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Superfund program\, the Environmental Law Institute and Beveridge & Diamond are organizing two in-depth panel discussions of the past\, present\, and future of the Superfund program. The first panel examined the 1986 Superfund amendments\, reform efforts\, and the current status of CERCLA. On December 8\, join us for the second panel in this series\, where former and current senior EPA officials will discuss what parties should expect in the coming decades in terms of CERCLA’s longevity\, its priorities\, and ongoing major conflicts over its implementation \nFor more information & to register by Dec 4th \nYou can also find Part 1 information here \n  \nPresented by the Environmental Law Institute and Beveridge & Diamond PC

SUMMARY:Revolutionizing Ocean Data to Mitigate Climate Change\, Overfishing & Pollution
DESCRIPTION:Ocean management is often undermined by a lack of data on human activity and on the waters themselves. Pirate fishers plunder the high seas with impunity\, knowing they cannot be traced. Crew members on legitimate fishing boats are tortured and even murdered\, out of sight. Stocks are overfished because most quotas are set only annually\, using last year’s data. New technology platforms are beginning to change this. Data from satellites\, autonomous underwater vehicles\, and other platforms are coming together with emerging data streams from social media\, smartphones\, and low-cost distributed sensors to create a ‘data tsunami’. More data were collected on the oceans in 2018 alone than in the entire twentieth century. Ocean data management has not kept pace with this precipitous growth\, however\, and limits our ability to use this new ocean data to address ocean threats. In this webinar\, we will present ways we need to revolutionize the collection\, sharing\, and accessibility of ocean data to address climate change\, overfishing\, and pollution. \nCo-sponsors: OCTO (EBM Tools Network\, The Skimmer\, OpenChannels\, MPA News\, MarineDebris.info)
