Abstract
Recent expansion of energy development in Colorado has led to dramatic changes to ecosystems. The extent to which these changes can be mitigated through ecological restoration is uncertain given the novelty of these disturbances. This seminar will explore energy industries operating in Colorado and the potential for ecological restoration to assist these industries in reducing their impacts.
