Welcome
President David M. Hassenzahl, PhD President, Association of Environmental Studies and Sciences Dean, College of Natural Sciences, CSU Chico
Welcome to AESS 2017! To me, each year the AESS conference is an opportunity to meet with old friends and discover new ones. This year, in a challenging political environment for those of us dedicated to well informed environmental decision making, we gather in Tucson to focus on issues of Environment, Wellness, and Community. Each of these is an expansive concept, and I hope you will explore them broadly. One community I encourage you to focus on is our own community of environmental studies and sciences programs. What do we want for our students? What do we expect from ourselves? I look forward to discussing these issues with you, and using your ideas as AESS moves into its second decade of service to our community.
Program Chair Valerie Rountree AESS 2017 Program Chair Founder and Director, Better Climate Research and Policy Analysis San Francisco Bay Area, California Affiliate, University of California Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
With over 60 presentation and discussion sessions, as well as workshops, mealtime roundtable discussions, poster presentations, and social events, this year's conference promises to be as unique and innovative as ever! Hosted by the University of Arizona located in sunny Tucson, all of the AESS Conference activities will take place in the ENR2 building. Designed to mimic a slot canyon, the building incorporates rainwater harvesting and other features of sustainable design, and reflects the university's commitment to sustainability. Although June is one of the hottest months in Tucson, the Sonoran Desert is full of life to be discovered. I hope you will take the opportunity to explore the rich landscape and biodiversity this region has to offer, and the ever-changing city scape of Tucson—and stay hydrated!
This year the presentation sessions are organized into ten “tracks,” or themes, that epitomize the breadth and depth of environmental expertise among AESS members and conference participants. These tracks include: natural resource conservation and management, collaborating and partnering on environmental issues; subaltern perspectives in environmental studies and management; environmental arts and humanities; energy and water; climate change; adaptation and resilience; sustainability and environmental movement history; pedagogy; and academia: teaching, research and advocacy. The program showcases diversity in academic disciplines, research interests, approaches to teaching, and perspectives. There is so much to do every day, and the final day of presentations is as exciting as the first.
On behalf of the Program Committee, I welcome you and invite you to engage with your extraordinary colleagues and help AESS keep its reputation for warmth and friendliness. It has been a pleasure serving as the Program Chair for the 2017 AESS Conference, and I look forward to another great year of idea sharing and comradery!
Site Coordinator Angie Brown AESS 2017 Conference Site Coordinator Project and Events Coordinator, Institute of the Environment The University of Arizona
Welcome to the University of Arizona and sunny Tucson! The University of Arizona Institute of the Environment is proud to be the local host of this year’s conference. The building in which the conference will be held—Environment and Natural Resources 2—is a LEED-platinum building that showcases the University’s commitment to sustainability, environmental research and education, and creative scholarship.
The Institute of the Environment is a major hub of sustainability at the University, serving to advance innovative solutions to environmental challenges in Arizona and around the planet. We embrace the significance of our location in the desert Southwest and harness expertise from across the university and external partners to help communities, especially those in dry regions, make the best-informed decisions for a sustainable future.
Tucson provides an ideal setting to explore this year’s theme of Environment, Wellness, and Community. We offer field trips that include exploring the Sonoran Desert, visiting a subalpine forest on nearby Mount Lemmon, and experiencing what makes Tucson a UNESCO a World City of Gastronomy, among others. We look forward to introducing you to our campus and the surrounding Tucson area.

ENR2 Building
The Environment and Natural Resources 2 (ENR2) building at the University of Arizona provides a space for solving some of the world’s most urgent environmental issues.
Researchers use state-of-the-art facilities to further our understanding of climate change and its impacts, wildlife and land conservation, water resources, renewable energy, and many other complex challenges. Interdisciplinary scholars, staff, and decision makers meet to develop innovative solutions that help ensure a vibrant and environmentally sound future. Thousands of students benefit from the latest audio and video capabilities in meeting rooms and a 600-person auditorium, boosting their opportunities for learning and discovery.
The building itself incorporates cutting-edge technologies that epitomize the UA’s commitment to sustainability in higher education.
ENR2’s design mimics a slot canyon, echoing a southwestern sense of space, light, and shadow. A 52,000-gallon tank under the building captures and stores rainwater that is then used to irrigate the desert adapted plants. ENR2’s heating and cooling system, coupled with the building’s design, is projected to use 30 percent less energy than a traditional HVAC system. The rooftop is envisioned as a learning laboratory and includes space built into the roof for gardens.
Critters in the form of 9” x 11” metal inlays—lithoglyphs designed by Tucson’s Creative Machines and “adopted” by members of the UA and broader Tucson community—help bring the building to life and provide an interesting environmental path for all who visit.
Pick up a Field Guide at the conference registration/business table and see how many observations of common (c), fairly common (fc), and rare (r) critters you can make during your time at AESS 2017!

What’s in Store
People often come to conferences as much for meeting other people and networking as for formal sessions. AESS has earned a reputation over the years as a friendly and warm gathering, and we are grateful to all for continuing this tradition. We extend our welcome to those who are here for the first time and to those who are returning; to those from close by and to those from far away.
AESS is a great place to meet new people, find old friends, talk over job opportunities and your latest book, and to have an in-person interaction with someone you have connected to virtually.
Workshops (Wednesday only) Workshops are interactive (as opposed to lecture-based) and have a formal educational or professional development component. Content may include presentations, discussions, exercises, formal training, or other methods of promoting heuristic goals. Workshops are expected to have clear goals and outcomes.
AESS Member Meeting (Thursday, 5:45pm) AESS members are invited to a Business Meeting to discuss current and future directions of the organization. Please come, listen, and share your ideas.
Discussion Symposia Discussion symposia are designed for focused discussion on a selected topic. Playing off the original ancient Greek symposia, the emphasis is on in-depth intellectual exchange. Opening remarks are appropriate but it is not expected that participants will deliver a formal presentation.
Exhibitors (Thursday and Friday) Exhibitors include publishers, universities, organizations, and others. They bring a wealth of information, book samples, and much more. Take the time to visit them all! This is a great opportunity to speak personally with, say, a publisher about your upcoming book project, or with a graduate school about their admissions criteria, or about the projects and approaches (and job opportunities?) of non-profits.
Mealtime Roundtables (Thursday, 12:15pm) Mealtime roundtables are designed to foster open discussion around a topic of general and collective interest to the AESS community. Anyone can join a roundtable. They are led by the coordinator listed in the program book.
Poster Session (Thursday 12:15pm) Poster presenters will be on hand during the Poster Session to converse informally about their work.
Presentation Panels Presentation panels are designed for presentation of research or other scholarly AESS-related endeavors. In general, they consist of up to five presenters who are each allotted approximately 15 minutes to speak, followed by questions and answers or discussion.
Sessions Sessions are a collection of 4-5 individual presentation papers unless otherwise indicated. If there is a session you particularly want to hear, we urge you to arrive early to get a seat as some classrooms have limited capacity.
The Arts at AESS and Film Night Arts abound at AESS conferences. The photos included on the program cover were submitted to the University’s annual “Eye on the Environment” photo contest. Be sure to pick up the Critter Guide at registration and enjoy exploring the art of ENR2. Workshops and sessions include the arts, and Track 4 of the Sessions features presentations on Environmental Arts and Humanities. The tradition of Film Night continues on Thursday with short films and discussion with the filmmakers, and Friday's field trip offerings include a chance to visit the San Xavier Mission, which is widely considered to be the finest example of Spanish Colonial architecture in the United States.
And awards, dinner, keynotes, field trips, and much more.

“Natural History and the Deep Well of Community”
Thomas L. Fleischner, PhD Executive Director Natural History Institute
Faculty Emeritus Prescott College
tfleischner.net
Currently serving as Executive Director for the Natural History Institute, Dr. Tom Fleischner’s work is always rooted in natural history, ecology, and conservation biology, but plies the terrain at the margins of disciplines. He is most interested in the connections between sciences, humanities, and public policy, and between analytical and creative modes of thought. He is fascinated by the confluence of nature & culture, biology & adaptation, when considering humans as an ecological species.
Dr. Fleischner taught in the interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program at Prescott College for 29 years. In addition to helping coordinate the Conservation Biology and Natural History and Ecology emphasis areas, he created courses that linked with many other curricular areas, including creative writing, environmental politics, and ecopsychology. He was also founding Director of the college's Natural History Institute, which seeks to integrate art, science, and humanities in the work of connecting humans and nature.
He was the founding President of the Natural History Network, and also co-founded the North Cascades Institute in Washington State, and has served on the Board of Governors of the Society for Conservation Biology, the Science Advisory Council of the Grand Canyon Trust, and many other local and regional organizations. Dr. Fleischner was a long-term member of the Education Committee of the Society for Conservation Biology, and served as President of the society’s Colorado Plateau Chapter.
Dr. Fleischner’s fieldwork and research has included addressing the growing crisis in American (and, indeed, global) ecological sciences training--that fewer and fewer students have the opportunity to study and learn in the field, directly from nature; the study of migratory and wintering shorebirds at Estero Santa Cruz in the Gulf of California, Mexico; and the ecological effects of livestock grazing in western North America. His earlier field research concerned marine mammals and marine birds.
Dr. Fleischner earned his PhD in Environmental Studies from The Union Institute in 1998, his MS in Biology from Western Washington University in 1983, and his BS in Field Biology from The Evergreen State College, 1977. He is author of two books—Singing Stone: A Natural History of the Escalante Canyons and Desert Wetlands, and editor of a third in the anthology, The Way of Natural History. He has also edited another anthology, Nature, Love, Medicine: Essays on Healing in Wildness, which will be released in September by Torrey House Press.

Film Night
Thursday, June 22 7:00pm Room N120
7:00pm Introduction and Welcome
7:10pm Breaking the Log Jam (12 min) + 3-min. intro from filmmaker Philip Brick Residents of rural communities in the Pacific Northwest have been deeply frustrated by the collapse of timber economies and the erosion of their rural way of life, which has played itself out in the 25 years since the listing of the northern spotted owl. The writer Wendell Berry once argued the that gulf between urban and rural sensibilities cuts just as deeply deep as any great divide in American life, this was vividly on display in the recent national election. As we contemplate the contemporary populist moment, it seems imperative to explore how we might move forward—together. Set in rural Wallowa County, Oregon, the film grounds us in the local landscape, peering out through the eyes of local community members: a third generation logger, an urban transplant retiree, a Nez Perce fisheries biologist. At first glance their lives may seem worlds apart, but as our story unfolds, connections reveal themselves, common dreams supersede political differences, and a vision of a future built upon common ground is realized, a parable for many rural communities across the West and across the nation. Collaborative management isn’t easy or fast, but this film demonstrates that it can be remarkably powerful and inspiring, perhaps even a vital signpost on the path to a sustainable future where everyone has a place.
7:30pm It Ain’t Easy Being Green (37 min.) + 3-min. Intro from filmmaker Crystal Fortwangler In the U.S. Virgin Islands, green iguanas are dramatically increasing in number and spreading. The situation has left most humans and iguanas scratching their heads about how to get by in the fast-changing island environment. The film engages in a lively debate about when and where animals are welcome, and if it is possible to create environments where it is easier for humans and all species to co-exist. Of great concern is how to protect local agricultural production and at the same time provide a welcoming place for iguanas.
To make sense of the island’s changing ecosystems we turn to natural resource managers, long-time residents and tourists, emphasizing throughout the perspective of iguanas caught up in this crazy mix! Will human-iguana differences and tension prevail? Or can the island’s two and four-legged creatures peacefully co-exist? Is there a solution that works for people and iguanas?
8:10pm Erosion of Life (60 min.) + 3 min. intro from filmmaker Monty Hempel We humans like to define ourselves by what we build, invent or create, but our signature trait may be manifest most clearly by what we destroy. We are architects of the most advanced civilization yet achieved and at the same time we are the leading executioners of nonhuman life, presiding over the first mass extinction since the death of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
This film examines the importance of human-animal relationships in understanding broader environmental values, threats, and opportunities. We celebrate our personal independence but it is our interdependence that makes us human and capable of empathy. Wild animals open up a world that is not the product of human thought or domination, one that invites us to connect with the great mysteries of life. By encountering beings that have not been reared or trained by us, and that do not serve our aims, we have the unique opportunity to discover our place in the web of life. A world without wild animals is a world with a diminished capacity for empathy AND little hope for grasping the mysteries of life.
9:23pm The Beaver Believers (45 min.) + 3 min. intro from Philip Brick This is a film about people who believe passionately in the power of one of nature’s most industrious creatures, Castor Canadensis, to restore damaged watersheds to provide more water, more habitat, and greater appreciation for nature’s potential resilience in an era of climate change. We follow our “beaver believers” across several iconic landscapes in the American West, where they are working tirelessly to re-introduce beaver into watersheds that have been damaged by years of neglect, manipulation, and overgrazing. The results are, quite frankly, stunning. Dry streambeds become lush threads of life in arid landscapes in just a few years after beaver begin their work. This is a story of what undaunted stewardship of public natural resources looks like—how just a few committed activists can make a huge difference by working with, not against nature, and by working at the capillaries of natural and social systems. www.thebeaverbelievers.com
