Please join us on Thursday, Feb. 4, when CCASS visiting scholar Glynis Lough will talk at the UA about the present status of the National Climate Assessment.  Lough will speak in the Haury Lecture Hall (room S107) in ENRB2 at 4 pm.  Her talk, "Update on Building a Sustained National Climate Assessment: Vision vs. Reality," will describe progress toward and challenges to achieving the vision of a sustained assessment that engages users through an inclusive, broad-based, and ongoing process.

Lough is Chief of Staff for the National Climate Assessment<http://nca2014.globalchange.gov/>, a position in which she coordinates work by the authors, the Federal Advisory Committee, and the members of a 13-agency working group who contribute to development of the quadrennial NCA and the sustained assessment process.

Dr. Lough has worked as a research scientist with Battelle, specializing in climate change, air quality, and environmental policy, and from 2005 to 2007 was an AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow in the EPA Office of Air and Radiation. She received a Ph.D. In environmental chemistry and technology from the University of Wisconsin, and a B.S. in chemical engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
