12th Biennial Conference of Science and Management on the Colorado Plateau
Theme: Effects of Rapid Climatic, Social, and Technological Changes on the Colorado Plateau
September 16-19, 2013, Northern Arizona University
The 12th Biennial Conference of Science and Management on the Colorado Plateau is a forum that brings together resource managers and research scientists to discuss findings and management needs associated with the natural and cultural resources of the Colorado Plateau. Climate change, energy development, and human population growth on the Colorado Plateau affect water availability, natural systems, and the social character of the plateau. The conference will focus on these agents of change, identifying resource responses to change and opportunities to discuss approaches to ameliorate or reduce negative impacts to the Colorado Plateau’s natural and cultural landscape. The conference will include plenary speakers, symposia and contributed paper sessions, and a poster session.
Where?
On the campus of Northern Arizona University, The Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research (MPCER) promotes cross-disciplinary research throughout the Colorado Plateau, which includes portions of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. Through both environmental research and education, the MPCER works to improve the understanding of critical ecological processes and to develop effective strategies for meeting pressing challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. The MPCER also has been instrumental in developing and supporting infrastructure needed to advance both research and education.
