The Tahoe Science Consortium and Sierra Nevada College will host the 2012 Tahoe Science Conference May 22-24, 2012 on the scenic campus of Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village, Nevada. The theme of the 2012 Tahoe Science Conference will be “Environmental Restoration in a Changing Climate.” Lake Tahoe and many other high alpine lakes around the world are being increasingly stressed by climatic changes and urban development. Compounding these factors are economic stresses on government agencies, local com­munities, the environmental community and the public. The 2012 Tahoe Science Conference will encourage creative dialogue among scientists, artists, environmental managers, public officials, and the general public about how to protect high alpine ecosystems under changing environmental and social climates.

Anyone interested in learning about and shaping the future of Lake Tahoe and other mountain ecosystems around the world is encouraged to participate.

Conference proceedings will be organized into three Tracks: Science, Management, & Visualization.
