Advocates: Patrick Burkhart; Gregory S. Baker; Paul Baldauf and air resources as well as on human and ecosystem health.
We seek contributions focused on myriad environmental aspects
of war and military conflict, past, present, and future. Our objec- GEOARCHAEOLOGY
tive is to broaden our understanding of the environmental impacts
of war, beyond the tragic human toll. T202. Losing Cultural Heritage: Geoarchae-
