The AEESP Research and Education Conference will address the most critical environmental challenges of this era. Its theme, “Environmental Engineering and Science at the Confluence,” is designed to span the field of environmental engineering, to explore convergence and to highlight emerging developments. The theme also ties in geographically, with St. Louis located at the confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois Rivers.

The conference will draw on convergence in environmental engineering and science as an organizing framework for workshops, plenary talks, panel discussions, and oral and poster presentations.

Environmental Engineering Science explores innovative solutions to problems in air, water, and land contamination and waste disposal, with coverage of climate change, environmental risk assessment and management, green technologies, sustainability, and environmental policy.
