Looking like it'll be a pretty active week on environmental issues, with Wednesday at 10 AM being the most in-demand hour of the week.

House Floor Activity

The House only has a pro forma session for Monday, and a no-votes day on Tuesday in preparation for the State of the Union that evening.
Actual floor activity begins at 10 AM on Wednesday, beginning with the usual collection of suspension bills.
The only bill under a rule this week is veterans' access to child care.

House Committee Activity

On Wednesday at 10 AM the Energy & Commerce committee is holding a hearing on "Time for Action: Address the Environmental and Economic Effects of Climate Change."
On Wednesday at 10 AM the Natural Resources committee is holding a hearing on "Climate Change: the Need to Act."
On Wednesday at 10 AM the Interior & Environment subcommittee of Appropriations is holding a hearing on "The Power of the Purse: A Review of Agency Spending Restrictions During a Shutdown."
On Wednesday at 10 AM the Oversight & Reform committee is holding a legislative hearing on H.R. 1.
On Thursday at 9:30 AM, the Transportation & Infrastructure committee is holding a hearing on "The Cost of Doing Nothing: Why Investing in our Nation's Infrastructure Cannot Wait."
On Thursday at 10 AM, the Energy & Water subcommittee of Appropriations is holding a hearing on "Energy Trends and Outlook."
On Thursday at 2 PM, the Oceans subcommittee of Natural Resources is holding a hearing on "Healthy Oceans and Healthy Economies: The State of Our Oceans in the 21st Century."

Senate Floor Activity

The Senate convenes at 3 PM on Monday, with a few votes lined up to finish up consideration of its Middle East policy bill.
Afterwards, the Senate is expected to move to a lands package based on the one that was negotiated late last year. They'll reportedly try to move through that bill quickly (i.e. finish it this week), as McConnell is looking to keep the floor free for other activity on nominations and government funding.

Senate Committee Activity

On Tuesday at 10 AM the Environment & Public Works committee is holding a business meeting to consider numerous items and nominations, including that of Andrew Wheeler to be EPA Administrator and Peter Wright to be OLEM Assistant Administrator.
On Tuesday at 10 AM the Energy & Natural Resources committee (ENR) is holding a hearing on "the Outlook for Energy and Minerals Markets in the 116th Congress."
On Thursday at 10 AM the ENR committee will be holding a hearing on "the Status and Outlook of Energy Innovation in the United States."
