As part of the Sustainable Futures Speaker Series, Sharon Levy will present "Arcata Marsh: Roots and Branches."

Science writer Sharon Levy is the author of The Marsh Builders: the Fight for Clean Water, Wetlands, and Wildlife. In this new book from Oxford University Press, Levy delves into the global roots of the citizen uprising that built Arcata’s marsh, as well as its lessons for modern activists and regulators.

Levy's work appears in magazines including Nature, Undark, and BioScience. She is also the author of Once and Future Giants: What Ice Age Extinctions Tell Us About the Fate of Earth’s Largest Animals.

The Sustainable Futures Speaker Series is sponsored by the Environment & Community M.A. Program, the Schatz Energy Research Center, and the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences.

The presentation will take place Thursday, September 20, at 5:30 p.m. in Siemens Hall 108.
