Reviews

3.7 out of 5 stars from 8 ratings
  • I really want to listen but I can't hear a thing.

    I care about the details of environmental policy and what goes into it and what needs to be considered. I think there is a lot of good information here. But you can't here anything. It's like they are recording with a phone from the back of the room that the presentation is being given in.

  • Poor recording quality

    It is very unfortunate. The content is very useful to many people, but the quality of the recording is just so bad. There has to be a way to improve this in this high tech world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rapid Readout: Impacts of Severe Drought
Q: What can the audience, especially Congress staff, do to help alleviate drought conditions?
Focus on sustaining and expanding observational networks (e.g., Snowtel, NRCS, USGS stations), improving integration of observations so decisions reflect the full water cycle, and investing in tools and co-produced decision-support systems that meet diverse needs across sectors.
Rapid Readout: Impacts of Severe Drought
Q: What are the gaps that need to be addressed at the federal level to improve drought preparedness—funding, information, or other gaps?
The biggest gaps are integration across scales, sustained investment in observational networks, better translation of science into decision support, and continued investment in operational science and tools, including remote sensing and new models, to keep infrastructure and decision-makers better prepared.
Rapid Readout: Impacts of Severe Drought
Q: Is there a debate in the scientific community about when aberrations stop becoming aberrations and when they become the new normal?
That question is actively studied; researchers look at the time of emergence and context-dependence, noting that baselines change and different climate components (like soil moisture, precipitation, or snowpack) may cross thresholds at different times, with varying levels of certainty across systems.
Policies and Financing Solutions to Modernize U.S. Water Infrastructure
Q: What are some non-traditional financing opportunities that states and utilities are looking at or should be looking at more?
Panelists discuss stormwater credit trading, green bonds, and market-based mechanisms as ways to finance local projects, alongside traditional SRF and WIFIA programs to blend funding sources and accelerate deployment.
Rapid Readout: Implications of the U.S. Forest Service Reorganization
Q: How might state directors interact with governors and local partners under cooperative federalism, and what funding supports will be available to sustain this model?
The state-director model could improve relationships with state leaders and local partners, but ongoing funding and authority delegation are critical; without sustained funding, states and partners may struggle to take on the new workload.
