The ESPM Distinguished Finishing Talk by a Graduate Student will be given by Leke Hutchins. Title: "Abundant Lands, Thriving People: Examining the Socio-Ecological Web of an Indigenous Agroecosystem."
The Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM) at UC Berkeley hosts a series of recurring seminars during the academic year. The ESPM Seminar Series is a multidisciplinary place to share and discuss research ideas and applications in the broad theme of "the environment." Faculty and students in ESPM work on a wide range of topics, spanning climate and biodiversity science, land and water use, environmental policy, and community outreach—all driven by a collective interest in our environmental future. By inviting outstanding speakers we aim to advance discussion on the environmental challenges we face, and identify research opportunities for transformative change.
