AUGUST 12, 2016--On Wednesday evening (8/11), Assessment and Restoration Division scientist, Lisa DiPinto, spent the evening (via webinar/webcam) with a group of 60 Australian scientists involved in oil spill response, oil spill related research, environmental regulation and compliance.

Lisa gave an overview of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process and two sessions on oil spill science learned from the Deepwater Horizon Assessment, had a discussion on science and analyses that can inform future response and assessment decisions, talked about ideas for future study areas. The course was part of non-accredited professional development training for the Environment Science and Technical Network of the Australian National Plan.
