Dear community,
We are currently taking active measures to help slow the spread of coronavirus infections. As part of this effort, many members of our team are working from off-site locations. If you need to reach a staff member and do not have their direct email, please contact serc@humboldt.edu. We will be checking this account frequently. You can also leave a message on our voicemail, at 707-826-4345.
- The North Coast Offshore Wind Workshop scheduled for April 28 has been postponed. Our team is investigating options for sharing our initial findings, while maintaining clarity, accessibility, and community engagement. Please RSVP if you’d like to receive information directly on these events.
- We are currently working with partners to revise the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series for this semester. All onsite events have been canceled; several talks will be rescheduled for next fall or spring; and some speakers may be able to present via webinar. Stay tuned!
- All site tours and educational events have been postponed until further notice.
