Yellowstone In the Anthropocene

Despite intensive efforts to minimize impacts of humans on this iconic place, global forces have changed Yellowstone. The world has reached a moment where human impact is as significant as the geologic forces of the past—The Anthropocene. Join Professor Hadly as she shares a brief history of Yellowstone National Park, its role in national park lands globally, and evidence that even our most protected lands face unprecedented challenges. While some assaults to Yellowstone cannot be undone, Professor Hadly highlights the positive impact of local, regional and national efforts to preserve and defend our treasured ecosystems.

A Zoom link will be emailed to all registered guests on the morning of the event. The meeting recording will be posted on the Stanford Alumni Association YouTube page a few days after the event.

This event is hosted by the Stanford Alumni Association.
