Advanced Environmental Law is a four-day course that explores law, policy and management of environmental projections. Each year, various topics of timely interest are explored in depth. This year, this course is offered in two versions: (1) Strategic Environmental Planning (which is an advanced NEPA course) and (2) Coastal and Ocean Resources Law.
Strategic Environmental Planning could be described as a NEPA implementation and environmental impact analysis seminar. This four-day course is broken into a two-day seminar that features law and policy and a two-day advanced environmental impact analysis workshop. NEPA topics explored include: planning for the proposed action, selecting alternatives, cumulative impacts analysis and accepted methodologies, programmatic studies, greenhouse gas and climate change analysis, planning for operational training areas, addressing scientific uncertainly, public participation and other emergent planning topics, such as adaptive management.
