ERTH Seminar Series: Audrey Denney-Turning the Dial Back on Climate Change: Rural Responses to a Global Crisis

Announced on: Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026

Please join the first Earth and Environmental Sciences Spring Seminar Series with a presentation by Audrey Denney on the critical environmental issues facing the North State and how the government responds.

This seminar asks a deceptively simple question: what if the land beneath our feet is one of our most powerful climate tools? Agricultural educator Audrey Denney will explore how carbon moves through soils, forests, and working landscapes, and how regenerative agriculture and regenerative forestry can pull it back out of the atmosphere and store it where it belongs. Blending earth science with public policy, this talk will explore how federal investments, incentives, and land management policy can create the enabling conditions for carbon sequestration at a meaningful scale. From farms and forests to funding formulas and federal agencies, this seminar connects biogeochemical processes to the political choices that determine whether these solutions remain theoretical – or become transformative.

Thursday, February 26, 5-6 pm in ART 111. All are welcome, no ticket needed.
