EPA Tools and Resources Training Webinar Series
Free webinars typically held bimonthly on the first Thursday from 3:00-4:00 PM (ET).
EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) hosts this bimonthly public webinar series to provides in-depth overviews and step-by-step tutorials on popular EPA science-based models and tools. In addition, the EPA Tools and Resources Webinar Series translates EPA research and shares research resources and information that are useful, practical/applied and available to meet stakeholders' research needs.
NOTE: Attendees have the option of receiving a certificate of attendance. Acceptance of certificates is contingent on organization requirements—EPA cannot guarantee acceptance. Closed-captioned recordings of the webinars are provided below for later viewing and as a training resource; certificates cannot be provided for viewing webinar recordings. Webinar dates and topics are subject to change.
June 6, 2024 Webinar
EnviroAtlas
Register for the EnviroAtlas Training webinar.
How do environmental managers and public health officials identify the benefits that local forests, parks, wetlands and other natural areas provide to their local communities? One way is through EnviroAtlas. EPA’s EnviroAtlas provides users with a host of interactive tools, geospatial data and resources for exploring the benefits people derive from nature and potential stressors that might impede these benefits.
EnviroAtlas is a rich, web-based and accessible resource that includes a GIS-based mapping application built on a robust platform of more than 500 layers of environmental and public health data; an easy-to-use Eco-Health Relationship Browser illuminating the links between ecosystems, the services they provide, and their impact on human health and well-being; teaching resources and educational modules; and built-in analysis tools. In addition to the 500+ data layers for the U.S., EnviroAtlas includes additional fine-scale data for more than 1400 cities and towns centered on 30+ U.S. urbanized community areas.
EnviroAtlas is designed to inform decision-making, education and research. It provides a one-stop-shop for exploring ecosystem services and the benefits they provide in the context of planning and management. The goal is to help EPA partners in states, territories and local communities enhance public health, environmental resiliency, and economic prosperity. This webinar will provide in-depth training on using the Interactive Map and Eco-Health Browser, accessing and downloading data, and using built-in-analysis tools. The webinar will also provide a brief overview of EnviroAtlas resources in general, including educational modules and real-world examples of data use.
