Natural resource issues facing the Great Basin, and the research behind solutions, will be discussed next month at the annual Great Basin Consortium Conference.
The conference, “The Great Basin: A Landscape Under Fire,” will take place at UNR’s Joe Crowley Student Union. Issues that will be tackled include sage grouse, fire and climate change.
The consortium of six organizations representing more than two dozen agencies and institutions who study, manage and protect the Great Basin will hold informative presentations, workshops, panel discussions and meetings at the two-day conference Dec. 9 and 10.
The conference features presentations by researchers from the U.S. Forest Service, the University of Nevada, Reno, U.S. Geological Survey, Nevada Department of Wildlife and others.
