The UW College of the Environment has published an interview with SMEA Director Nives Dolšak and Dave Fluharty highlighting SMEA’s trajectory over the last 50 years. 

Professor Nives Dolšak and coauthors examined whether endorsing climate policies, such as the Green New Deal, brings electoral payoffs. 

 
SMEA Professor Terrie Klinger and SMEA Affiliate Professor Jan Newton, were recently featured in a UW Today article titled Fighting ocean acidification, one oyster at a time. 

Molly Daly, SMEA second-year student, Dr. Eduardo Gallo-Cajiao, a Smith Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar at SMEA, and Nives Dolšak, SMEA faculty, presented their research at the 2022 Annual meeting of the Pacific Northwest Political Science Association in Walla Walla. 

The North Pacific snow and red king crab seasons are canceled this year, affecting entire communities that support the industry.  

Congrats to SMEA’s 2023 Kanauss fellows!
