    February 27th, 2009

    I am a member of the Coordinating Committee for the newly-created
    Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) which was
    formally launched in mid-2008. The AESS grew from discussions began
    three years ago at the First “Environmental Summit” held at the
    University of California, Santa Barbara, under the leadership of William
    Freudenburg.

    These initial discussions were continued at two subsequent
    national meetings of persons sharing a professional interest in
    interdisciplinary environmental studies. We have recently published our
    second newsletter and I invite you to view that, and our website, at:
