Institute of the Environment
December 17, 2014

Diana Liverman, co-director of the UA Institute of the Environment and Regents' Professor in the School of Geography and Development, is the 2015 recipient of the Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers' Carl O. Sauer Distinguished Scholarship Award.

From the recent CLAG/LASG Newsletter:

CLAG is very pleased to announce that Diana Liverman is the 2015 recipient of the CLAG Carl O. Sauer Distinguished Scholarship Award. Diana Liverman has blazed a trail in the field of global climate change throughout her three decades (to date) as a geographer, making significant contributions to scholarship on Latin America and the Global South. She has received prominent awards and recognition, including a Guggenheim Fellowship (2014), an associate in the U.S. National Academy of Science (2012), a Fellow of Britain’s Royal Geographic Society (2005), and sharing in the 2007 Nobel Prize (with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and former vice-president Al Gore). Diana Liverman is co-director (since 2009) of the Institute of the Environment and Regents’ Professor in the School of Geography and Development at the University of Arizona, where she previously directed the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) (1996-2003). Prof. Liverman is a leading authority on the human dimensions of global climate change and arguably one of the most important and influential geographers engaged in environmental research in Latin America. Through her own scholarship on Mexico, the U.S.-Mexico border, and international environmental issues, as well as through her mentorship and advising of dozens of younger scholars from many countries (many of whom are internationally prominent in their own right), Diana Liverman has carved out new space for critically-engaged environmental scholarship in Latin American geography.
