Sustainability Science Award
The Sustainability Science Award is given to the authors of a scholarly contribution that makes the greatest contribution to the emerging science of ecosystem and regional sustainability through the integration of ecological and social sciences. One of the most pressing challenges facing humanity is the sustainability of important ecological, social and cultural processes in the face of changes in the forces that shape ecosystems and regions Unprecedented directional changes in climate, human population, technology and social and economic institutions alter the structure and functioning of current ecological and social systems. The Sustainability Science Award recognizes the role that science can make in addressing these challenges.
The award is for a single scholarly contribution (book, book chapter, or peer-reviewed journal article). The contribution should be recent, which is interpreted to be approximately in the last five years.
Nominations for this award should include a letter of nomination with full citation and an electronic copy of the publication. The letter of nomination should be no longer than two pages.
Publisher nominations must be accompanied by other non-publisher nominations (i.e., academics and/or practitioners).
