Opportunities for environmental professionals
On September 9, 2016, CEES co-sponsored an forum to discuss issues surrounding low head dams. Topics included public safety, low head dam impacts on stream systems, and ecological impacts of low head dam removal. The event was held on the IUPUI campus. Attendees enjoyed a field trip to the Emerichsville Dam. Indiana Silver Jackets, Indiana Water Monitoring Council, IUPUI Office of Sustainability, Fishable Indiana Streams for Hoosiers (FISH), IUPUI Center for Unmanned Aerial Systems Imaging, and Osprey Assessments co-sponsored the event.
On January 23-25, 2014, CEES co-sponsored an international and interdisciplinary three-day workshop / symposium in Indianapolis, IN. Scholars, researchers and practioners from across the United States and Europe convened at IUPUI as part of Phase I of this interdisciplinary research project.
In Fall 2013, CEES and POLIS IUPUI teamed up to hold regionally focused workshops on Fluvial Erosion Hazards. Workshops were held on the IUPUI campus. This project was held in conjunction with the Silverjackets and sponsored by the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs.

Three (3) introductory FEH workshops and an additional five (5) regional workshops were held in Lafayette, Vincennes, Portage, Madison, and Auburn. Over two hundred people attended the workshops.
IUPUI Center for Earth and Environmental Science and Veolia Water Indianapolis, LLC.
June 17, 2010
The general session presentations offered a comprehensive overview of blue-green algal bloom issues, including environmental factors, innovative research, policy implications, and outreach solutions. The Symposium concluded with a panel session discussion, Approaches to Limiting Phosphorus in Indiana Waterways, with expert panelists representing elected officials, government agencies, corporations, nonprofit organizations, and universities.
Emerging Issues in Source Water Management and Strategies for Addressing New Drinking Water Regulations
April 12 – 13, 2006
An International Workshop Sponsored by The Central Indiana Water Resources Partnership, a partnership between Center for Earth and Environmental Science at IUPUI & Veolia Water.
CEES, in conjunction with Project SEAM, offered a five-day summer institute for high school teachers at the Lilly ARBOR Project site, an environmental science field station at IUPUI. Project SEAM is a collaborative effort involving fifteen central Indiana school districts and five post-secondary institutions that have teamed in order to create a "seamless" transition between high school and college for all students. To this end, workshops for secondary teachers provide professional development opportunities and introduction to the resources available at Indiana colleges and universities. The Ecological Field Study Experience at the Lilly ARBOR Project site utilizes the resources available within the Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES) and the Department of Earth Sciences at IUPUI to demonstrate the principles of science-based environmental stewardship. The summer institute includes:
- Background content knowledge necessary for teachers to utilize an ecological restoration research site for field and laboratory experiences.
- Web-distributed data sets that are generated by researchers at the site.
- Support and infrastructure to facilitate experimentation at the site by high school science students during the school year.
- Strategies for creating and delivering lessons for the high school students
