Advancing the State of Knowledge about Natural Resources, Environment and Economic Issues
The Economics, Society and Natural Resources (ESNR) research unit at the University of Nevada, Reno maintains a research and teaching focus on economic, social, and policy problems related to natural resources and ecosystem change, with an emphasis on problems affecting Nevada and the west.
ESNR specializes in integrating research approaches that combine the best of economics with science to advance knowledge. Research involves work with scientists from other disciplines and organizational units including the Center for Regional Studies, the University Center for Economic Development, and the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of Nevada, Reno. ESNR research is supported through a number of grants and projects in which it works closely with colleagues in the natural sciences and natural resource management agencies.
