Tanya Maslak is the program specialist for the new interagency cross-cutting group on climate change and human health, which is an effort that will serve to examine the potential for programmatic reorganization around societal benefit areas, such as recommended by the NRC. In this role, she will help to lead the group in pushing the traditional boundaries of the program by focusing on an end-to-end continuum from research to application, as well as appropriately engaging with non-traditional partners, including local, international, and non-governmental stakeholders. In addition, Tanya serves as the program coordinator for the Human Contributions and Responses and Global Water Cycle Interagency Working Groups. In this role, she coordinates working group members and meetings, as well as provides additional forms of technical and managerial support. She played an important role in the successful implementation of a series of stakeholder listening sessions that helped to provide input to the ongoing programmatic strategic planning process. Tanya also contributes to and leads various other USGCRP efforts, including those related to decision support, outreach, and stakeholder engagement with a variety of key audiences, including the National Security and Intelligence community, Natural Resource Managers, and other end users of climate information.
Tanya holds a B.S. in Environmental and Forestry Biology from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (Syracuse, NY) and an M.P.H. in Environmental Health from the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN). She came to Washington, DC to pursue a post-graduate fellowship at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where she worked on a variety of risk communication, stakeholder involvement, and community-based environmental health projects. Prior to joining USGCRP, Tanya served as the Director of Environmental Health Promotion and Health Communications at the Society for Public Health Education, where she focused on environmental health literacy and public health preparedness activities.
