Learn about “blue” hydrogen from Dr. Robert Howarth, one of the most cited environmental scientists in the world with groundbreaking research into fracking, hydrogen energy and climate. Please join us Wednesday August 28 at 6:30pm for a virtual webinar session with Robert Howarth, an Earth systems scientist and ecosystem biologist with a BA from Amherst College and a Ph.D. jointly from MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. He joined the faculty of Cornell University in 1985 and was appointed the David R. Atkinson Professor of Ecology & Environmental Biology in 1993. He also is an Adjunct Senior Scientist at the Marine Biological Lab in Woods Hole, MA, and is Co-Editor in Chief of the journal Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research.
Dr. Howarth has published over 250 scientific papers, reports, and book chapters and has edited or authored eight books. His research is broad ranging and includes climate effects on nutrient pollution in lakes and coastal ecosystems, nitrogen effects in coastal marine ecosystems, sources of methane from natural gas operations and agriculture, atmospheric ammonia pollution, alternative energy policies, and lifecycle assessments for hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, and renewable natural gas. He is one of 22 members of New York’s Climate Action Council, the group charged with implementing the State’s ambitious climate goals laid out in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act of 2019.
