Award given by the Ecological Society of America.
The Sustainability Science Award is given to the authors of a scholarly work 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. This ESA award is for a single scholarly contribution (book, book chapter, or peer-reviewed journal article) published in the last five years.
Nominations for awards to authors for specific publications (George Mercer Award, W. S. Cooper Award, Sustainability Science Award) should include:
- a letter of nomination with the full citation, and
- a copy of the publication (electronic if possible).
Unless otherwise stated, nominees may be of any nationality or place of residence with priority given to ESA members.
A nomination should be submitted as a single PDF file to E-mail: awards@esa.org with the name of the award in the subject line.
Deadline: October 19, 2017
