24th International Symposium on Society and Resource Management (ISSRM)
June 17-21, 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah
Venue
Meeting place
The conference theme of ‘Landscape Legacies and Global Trajectories’ reflects a conscious recognition that scientists and resource managers must learn from the past if they are to build a more sustainable future.
This conference will held at Snowbird, a resort and mountain setting situated near the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range, just 24 miles from downtown Salt Lake City.
Looking to the past to inform the future is essential when attempting to grapple with the complex social and natural resource problems that our society faces today. Humanity’s relationship with natural resources shapes landscapes, leaving enduring legacies of individuals’ and communities’ lived experience. Emerging technologies and proactive decision making hold the promise of allowing us to leave behind landscapes that are are healthier, more diverse, and more connected than those we inherited. For this to happen, cutting-edge interdisciplinary science is needed.
