Introduction

NCEE hosts three different seminar series, which feature presentations by EPA employees, other federal researchers, and academics. The first series, the Environmental Economic Seminars, serves as a forum for presentations on timely topics in environmental economics. The second series, the Climate Economics Seminars, focuses on issues related to the economics of climate change. The third series, the Climate Science Seminars, is a joint venture between NCEE and the EPA Office of the Science Advisor (OSA); under this series, a range of climate science issues are investigated, including forecasting challenges and impacts on ecological and human health.

NCEE has hosted a range of presentations under these three seminar series, dating back to 2007. Below is a list of all previous seminars. Click on each entry to learn more about the featured presenters and their presentation topics.
