Conference Theme: Many Shades of Green

What does it mean to be green?  Now that discourse on environmentally friendly policies and practices is increasingly prominent, it’s obvious that green means many things. Environmental studies and sciences can help clarify the requirements and impacts of these many shades of green, so that better choices can be made. This year’s AESS Conference will feature keynote presentations, paper sessions, panel discussions, field trips, and other opportunities for exchange on what green means in today’s and tomorrow’s world.
