Watershed Academy Webcast Seminars

EPA's Watershed Academy is pleased to sponsor free Webcast seminars. Local watershed organizations, municipal leaders, and others are invited to sign up for these free, on-line Webcast training sessions. Webcasts are typically conducted on an approximately monthly basis, on Wednesdays at 1:00pm to 3:00pm EST. Attendees must register in advance to participate in Webcasts. During the Webcasts, trainees log onto the Web to participate in live training conducted by expert instructors. Your computer must have the capability of playing sound in order to attend the Webcasts. In advance of Webcasts, we post PDF copies of the PowerPoint slides in the yellow box for those that want to print them out. The Watershed Academy is also now offering a certificate to those that attend Webcasts. For those that are not able to register for a Webcast, a streaming audio version of the training will be made available after the live seminar (see links to previous Webcasts below).

"Working Together to Address the Effects of Climate Change on Water Resources"

by Michael Shapiro, Deputy Assistant Administrator, U.S. EPA's Office of Water, Karen Metchis, Senior Climate Advisor, U.S. EPA's Office of Water, and Lisa Beever, Director, Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program, Florida

Join us for the “Working Together to Address the Effects of Climate Change on Water Resources” Webcast. Climate change has been identified as one of EPA’s top priorities and the Agency is working to define strategies and actions to address climate change.

Tune into this Webcast to learn the latest about what EPA is doing, as well as how Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program is developing climate change vulnerability assessments, adaptation plans, and indicators under EPA’s Climate Ready Estuary (CRE) program.

Webcast participants are eligible to receive a certificate for their attendance. The Webcast presentations are posted in advance at www.epa.gov/watershedwebcasts and participants are encouraged to download them prior to the Webcast.
