Panelists will also offer legal and community perspectives on damages litigation as a means to shift some of the burden from taxpayers to polluters.<\/p>\n<p>Panel members will include <strong>Bob Kopp<\/strong>, director of the Rutgers University Institute of Earth, Ocean &amp; Atmospheric Sciences; <strong>Brenda Ekwurzel<\/strong>, director of climate science with the Union of Concerned Scientists Climate &amp; Energy Program; and <strong>Jonathan Abady<\/strong>, a partner with Emery Celli Brinckerhoff &amp; Abady LLP. The discussion will be moderated by Monmouth University Rechnitz Family\/Urban Coast Institute Endowed Chair in Marine and Environmental Law and Policy <strong>Randall Abate<\/strong>. The names of additional speakers will soon follow.<\/p>\n<p>The event will take place from 3:30-5:15 p.m. at the Wilson Hall Auditorium.
