This conference will focus on the politics and the economics of environmental problems and regulation.

At this conference, we will convene sessions to address carbon capture and storage challenges and solutions.

As society struggles to better align behavior with sustainability goals, there is an increased role for marketing to encourage behavioral change. This can be accomplished by influencing both public perceptions of sustainability and promoting the development and marketability of products and services that work toward social goals but reduce strong consumer preference tradeoffs that might come with some sustainability solutions.

Sustainability Conference on Earth System Science

Due to the complexity of the social, cultural, and environmental issues involved, research on ecological restoration tends to focus on one landscape element at a time, considering, for example, only terrestrial, freshwater, or marine habitats. However, these landscape components are intricately interconnected, necessitating a holistic approach. One such approach is watershed restoration, in which all landscape elements and their biological, geological, hydrological, and cultural interconnectedness within an entire watershed are taken into consideration. Watershed restoration is becoming all the more relevant as an increasing number of dam modification projects, which often affect the whole watershed, are being planned and implemented, including the Searsville Watershed Restoration Project at Stanford. This interdisciplinary conference will showcase cutting-edge research associated with watershed research, presented by some of the leading researchers on restoration in California, but with global relevance. The conference will aim to synthesize biological, geological, hydrological, and most importantly, Indigenous sciences on watershed restoration toward a socially and environmentally sustainable future.
