A Professional Society Whose Time Has Come!
Since its creation little more than a year ago, over 700 environmental scholars and scientists have joined the Association. AESS is quickly becoming the leading interdisciplinary society in higher education for people working in the fields of environmental studies and environmental science.
Faculty, students, and education-minded environmental professionals and practitioners are encouraged to join.

AESS provides identity, collective voice and continuing education for individuals in higher education engaged in environmental research, teaching, problem solving, and service to society. The Association promotes the development of these collective concerns by
- enlarging the capacity for cross-campus collaboration, mentoring, and shared scholarship;
- creating a collegial process for networking, sharing ideas, publishing, and promoting interdisciplinary programs and conferences;
-
developing professional standards and guidelines for environmental scholars and scientists;
-
supporting the career development of students and faculty members;
-
promoting research, discussion, and outreach that expand public knowledge about the environment and improve environmental science, policy, and management.
AESS is envisioned as a community of environmental scholars and scientists, rather than a confederation of disciplines. Fundamental to this vision is a conviction that broad advances in environmental knowledge require disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary approaches to research and learning.
AESS looks forward to working with existing disciplinary associations and with organizations such as the National Council for Science and Environment, the Council of Environmental Deans and Directors, and others engaged in the vital task of linking academia, government, business, and the public on matters of environmental sustainability.
The Association employs a variety of media and venues to carry out this mission, including this web site (www.aess.info), professional newsletter, a planned flagship journal, and national and regional conferences. Additional information about these communication channels are available on the this web site, including three issues of our newsletter. Plans for the launch of the AESS journal in 2010 are well underway.
