The Utton Transboundary Resources Center
The Utton Transboundary Resources Center, based at the University of New Mexico School of Law, provides impartial multidisciplinary expertise and academic research in promoting collaboration among diverse stakeholders in reaching equitable and sustainable solutions for “transboundary resources” – shared resources that cross political jurisdictions and international, state or tribal boundaries.
The center was established in 2001 to honor and carry on the work of Professor Albert E. Utton. Internationally recognized, Professor Utton devoted his 40-year career to dialogue across borders and peaceful resolution of potential disputes over shared natural resources. The Utton Center has an advisory board of local and national experts in natural resource management that it can draw upon for guidance and support.
