AESS Conference & New Journal

The 2011 AESS (Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences) conference is being held June 23-26 at the University of Vermont. AESS is emerging as one of the most important international conferences for interdisciplinary discussions of environmental challenges. Social scientists have the opportunity to present to and collaborate with natural scientists and humanists on a wide variety of topics. Session formats include oral and poster presentations as well as workshops, symposia, panels, and roundtable discussions.

Please consider presenting at the upcoming AESS conference (and joining AESS if you are not yet a member). The call for abstracts (presentations) is now open, and the initial program information will be posted soon. For more information on the conference or to submit
an abstract, visit the AESS 2011 Conference Website (www.aess.info/2011)

Also, the flagship journal of AESS--the Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences, or JESS (Springer)--is set for its inaugural issue spring 2011, with planned contributions from Terry Chapin, David Orr, and Paul Ehrlich, among others. Please consider submitting your scholarship to JESS. To learn more, please visit: http://www.springer.com/environment/journal/13412
