Natural Resources & Environmental Law
The Utton Transboundary Resources Center
The Utton Transboundary Resources Center brings together experts from law, science, and public policy to resolve interjurisdictional natural resources issues, with an emphasis on water resources along the U.S.-Mexico border. The center acts as a neutral partner in helping stakeholders gather and use data for sustainable resource management plans, including assisting Sandia National Laboratories on a water-planning model for the Middle Rio Grande Water Assembly. Since its inception in 1986, the center has promoted preventive diplomacy to find solutions for both national and international resource issues. Students participate as research assistants and project organizers on all of these activities.
