EarthDesk is the blog of Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies, created in the belief that higher education has a duty to advance the global conversation about the relationship between human and nature. We examine environmental issues critically through a diversity of disciplines, with special attention to the global water crisis, animal welfare and climate change.
We convene thinkers and doers from our own campuses, the region, and the world, representing a host of interests – from law to art, business to the sciences, technology to human health, and more. Our objective is to advance creative thought and innovative solutions. We invite you to join the discussion.
John Cronin is managing editor for EarthDesk. Michelle D. Land and Andrew C. Revkin are its co-editors.
