Hudson Valley Climate Change Speakers Bureau
Hudson Valley Climate Change Network
Semi-regular events are hosted in partnership with the Estuary Training Program, Hudson River Estuary Program, and The Nature Conservancy. The Network provides a forum to learn about ongoing projects by New York State climate experts and researchers and an opportunity for participants to network and learn about each others’ work. Topics have ranged from stormwater runoff and green infrastructure needs to New York State climate plans and the perspectives of municipal officials regarding climate change
Revitalizing Hudson Riverfronts
Starting in the fall of 2011, the Training Program began partnering with Scenic Hudson and NYSDEC Hudson River Estuary Program on Revitalizing Hudson Riverfronts. Three successful workshops have focused on Beacon and Newburgh, Ulster County, and Columbia and Greene Counties, with future events to be held in both Albany and Westchester Counties
This one-day workshop was designed to introduce the audience of shoreline engineers, landscape architects, and state permit and habitat staff to the findings of the Hudson River Sustainable Shoreline Project. The presentations covered a range of topics, including ecological principles, planning considerations, lessons from implementation, sea level rise, physical forces, shoreline treatment performance during storms, climate adaptability, and cost information.
NOAA NERRS Living Shorelines Webinar Series (2013 to 2014).
This series of online presentations was designed to introduce the concept of living shorelines, increase awareness about the types of living shorelines, and look at regional differences in perceptions of living shorelines. The series was produced by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System and NOAA’s Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management.
