VIMS After Hours: Applying Marine Science to Regulatory Realities

Did you know that in addition to conducting cutting-edge research and educating the next generations of marine scientists, VIMS advises the Commonwealth on matters related to marine science? Join Emily Hein, Assistant Director for Advisory Services, as she discusses how VIMS science-based recommendations are used by regulators to inform decisions on projects ranging from backyard erosion on tidal creeks, to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel Expansion Project, to oil spill response.

We are excited to offer this lecture in-person in McHugh Auditorium on VIMS’ Gloucester Point Campus! Face masks are currently optional for all individuals in indoor spaces on the VIMS campus. This lecture will also be available as a live-streamed webinar. Registration is required for both in-person and webinar attendees. Webinar links will be sent in all registration confirmation emails. At this time, we are expecting a hybrid event, but registrants will be notified in advance if the event moves to a virtual only format.

After Hours lectures are designed for an adult audience.
