36th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mining & Reclamation

The American Society of Mining and Reclamation (ASMR) announces their 36th Annual Meeting, June 3 to 7, 2019, at the Big Sky Resort in Montana. This conference will focus on the research, technical, and regulatory issues associated with the land and water implications of anthropogenic land disturbances. It will provide a forum for the dissemination of information through presentation of research findings, field tours, workshops, and open discussion of public policy relating to applied reclamation, rehabilitation, remediation, and restoration science of mining, oil and gas, conventional and alternative energy production, contaminated sites, agriculture, road construction, large-scale commercial development, and other disturbances to land and water resources.
We invite researchers, practitioners, regulators, industry professionals, consulting firms, and others to present related research findings, case studies, demonstration projects, and regulatory or policy studies. We welcome submissions on treatment of disturbed or contaminated land and water resources associated with all types of active and abandoned mining, oil and gas production, energy generation and power plants, CERCLA sites, agriculture, forestry and fire, highway and rail, and large-scale commercial development. Specific subjects include, but are not limited to, ecological revegetation, invasive species management, range management, sediment and erosion control, geomorphic landform design, waste cover systems, geotechnical engineering approaches, water management and treatment, acid rock drainage, mine tailings/waste rock/overburden, and application of new technologies. Presentations in the form of PowerPoint shows, posters, or, new this year, video will be featured. Students are especially encouraged to attend.
