A syllabus for this course is attached along with the instructor’s bio. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt 31.5pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; orphans: auto; widows: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt 31.5pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; orphans: auto; widows: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto;">This course will provide attendees with an understanding of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process and its applications. The course will focus on describing the difference between damage assessment and risk assessment, how models are use to estimate damages and how the economic models are translated into compensation for restoration. The course will also provide strategies for restoration and will review projects in New England where the NRDA process was applied.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt 31.5pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; orphans: auto; widows: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><o:p> </o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in 0.5in 0.0001pt 31.5pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-style: normal; orphans: auto; widows: auto; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: static; z-index: auto;">All training course PowerPoint slides will be distributed to attendees at the outset of the course.
