ASEH 2018 panel on coastal environments
I am looking to organizing a panel on the history of coastal environments for the 2018 ASEH conference in Riverside. I am open to papers addressing a wide range of coastal environments, from wild to urban, and focusing on any era or part of the world.

Hello,
I am interested in organizing a panel on oil-related environmental histories of the Greater Caribbean (including the Gulf of Mexico and southern United States) for the 2018 ASEH conference in Riverside, CA.

We are currently looking for a third panelist.
