Making the Mississippi River better suited to our needs and purposes has profoundly altered the great river’s natural systems. Professor John Shepard draws on an archive of interpretive visualizations and media resources to chronicle human impact on the upper river’s floodplain ecosystems and the delta’s coastal wetlands. He also will suggest pathways to a more sustainable future for America’s most iconic river. John Shepherd, MA, Indiana University, is an associate professor in Hamline University’s School of Education, where he also is assistant director of the Center for Global Environmental Education.
