SUMMARY:Mapping Potential Wetland Areas for Landscape and Nutrient Management Across Conterminous United States
DESCRIPTION:Advancements in Mapping Potential Wetland Areas Across the Conterminous United States – Lauren Krohmer\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nIncreased availability and accessibility to 10-m landcover\, topographic\, and environmental data alongside tools and computers to process these data at the continental scale support large-scale landcover modeling. EnviroAtlas researchers harnessed 17 datasets at 10-m resolution and the Random Forest algorithm to identify locations across the conterminous United States that are likely to support a wetland ecosystem based on biophysical characteristics. The associated suite of products from this research provides opportunities to highlight locations for wetland construction\, conservation\, and restoration to contribute targeted ecosystem services related to nearby threats\, including pollution from agricultural runoff and flooding. \n\nInterception of Agricultural Surface Runoff by Wetlands Across CONUS – Scott Alford\, EPA Office of Research and Development\n\nWetlands are widely valued for their effectiveness in reducing nutrient loads in surface waters\, but there is growing need for targeted wetland conservation and construction to maximize impacts on water quality management while efficiently investing resources in wetland projects. This presentation will describe efforts to identify existing and potential wetland areas that intercept agricultural nonpoint source pollution in the form of surface runoff as a means of nutrient management across the conterminous United States (CONUS). This framework represents the initial steps in developing a CONUS scale wetland prioritization tool to be used for water quality management.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Year's Top Priorities in Climate\, Energy\, and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:With every new administration and Congress comes a different set of energy and environmental priorities. Despite shifts in political offices and rhetoric\, there are opportunities for policy action toward a healthy environment and thriving economy. Join Resources for the Future (RFF) and leaders from across government\, business\, philanthropy\, and media to discuss the big decisions anticipated in 2025. We’ll explore the priorities of the incoming Trump administration and the 119th Congress\, as well as offer expert insights to inform research and policy agendas for the coming year. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, January 29 from 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET to hear from these thought leaders on 2025’s big decisions\, including upcoming opportunities and challenges with congressional and federal regulatory activities\, and how looming federal court decisions may change decisionmaking into the future \nSpeakers \n\nCarlos Curbelo\, Co-Chair\, Climate Solutions Foundation\nRoger Martella\, Chief Sustainability Officer\, GE Vernova\nEliza Barclay\, Climate Opinion Editor\, the New York Times\nKate Gordon\, Chief Executive Officer\, California Forward\nKevin Rennert\, Fellow and Director of the Federal Climate Policy Initiative\, RFF (Moderator)

SUMMARY:Recent and Future Trends in Water Resources from the RPA Assessment
DESCRIPTION:Human activities and natural processes have significantly altered the water resources of the United States\, and continual changes are expected. This webinar will review results from the Water Resources Chapter of the 2020 RPA Assessment\, summarizing recent trends and future projections of freshwater use and supply\, as well as likelihood of water shortages to 2070 based on RPA scenarios and how those shortages impact communities throughout the United States. \nTo highlight the value of the RPA approaches\, we will then hear how The Pew Charitable Trusts uses information and outputs like those from the RPA project to better understand how their conservation work may affect local communities\, what that means for how they engage in partnerships with those communities\, and how that may translate to project objectives and metrics for success.
