(WASHINGTON, DC—August 3, 2021) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan announced his selection for members of the agency’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), including Steven Hamburg, Environmental Defense Fund’s Chief Scientist.
Dr. Hamburg will join 46 other members of the board, who will provide advice to EPA leadership as it continues to advance its mission. Dr. Hamburg also holds a dual appointment to the Climate Science Committee and previously served as a member of the Chartered SAB.
