Breakout Sessions

Attendees will meet in small groups to provide important stakeholder perspectives on a variety of specific questions. Discussion topics are broken down according to the categorization in the ERVA report and include:

Nanotechnology for

Energy storage, transmission, and critical materials
Greenhouse gas capture and elimination
Resilient, energy-efficient, and healthful infrastructure
Water, ecosystems, and geoengineering assessment

Our Changing Precipitation: What’s on the Horizon for Science and Application of Climate Change Information for Water Infrastructure Managers

An interdisciplinary conversation among thought leaders to provide participants an idea of what is on the horizon for helping communities build resilience of water management infrastructure and how we can move forward as a nation.

Our Changing Precipitation: From Science to Application: Climate Science, Hydrology, and Planning – Part 2

Learn about some of the ways researchers are helping communities consider climate change in local planning. Participants will gain insights into approaches for evaluating climate change impacts on hydrology for planning.

Understanding Global Climate Change and How It Affects Air Quality and Human Health

Dr. Jason West, Professor Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health will present “Understanding Global Climate Change and How It Affects Air Quality and Human Health.” The talk will provide a deeper dive into climate science, and approaches to studying the interactions between climate change and air quality.  Registration is required and can be obtained via:  niehs.nih.gov/climatehealthseminar
