Due to strong and increasing interest, we are extending the deadline for proposals for the AESS conference to February 18. Many of the conference proposals that have already been submitted focus on issues pertinent to the GEP-Ed community, and we would certain welcome more!
The 2014 annual meeting of the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) will be held on 11-14 June 2014 at Pace University in New York City, NY. The theme for the conference is “Welcome to the Anthropocene: From Global Challenge to Planetary Stewardship.” This theme focuses on the argument advanced by many environmental scholars that Earth has entered a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene (the recent age of humans). Proponents of this theory contend that humans have become a global geophysical force capable of disrupting the grand cycles of biology, chemistry and geology by which elements like carbon and nitrogen circulate between land, sea and atmosphere. This disruption is resulting in profound alteration of the planet’s climate, serious threats to a large array of species and critical ecosystems and conversion of fertile lands to desert.
