Check out this video to watch the Partnering on Oil Spill Prevention, Response, and Recovery.
Environmental Speaker Series
Brought to you by:
WWU College of the Environment
in partnership with the WWU Alumni Association
Oil Spill prevention, response, and recovery requires collaboration across sectors—from local, state, federal, and tribal governments—to industry and trade associations, universities, and NGOs. No one sector alone can address the issue of spilled oil. Meg will give us a snapshot of oil spill science, prevention efforts, emerging technologies, and successful partnerships, including her work with the Pacific States/British Columbia Oil Spill Task Force.
More information about the speaker series is available here, and past Environmental Speaker Series recordings are available here.
We are excited that we will be live-streaming from a WWU classroom for the webinar for our off-campus audience. Due to the pandemic, only WWU students will be in-person for the presentation but we look forward to welcoming you all to class virtually.
