MREM Group Case Studies

Exploring and learning through case studies

In the MREM, the core courses are designed to allow students to explore the important dimensions of environmental management and resource management cases. Understanding the bio-physical, socio-political, and law and policy dimensions will increase the likelihood that successful resolutions to the cases can be achieved. The results of the investigations of the student teams are presented at a workshop in April of each year. Below is a sample list of past case studies that students covered.
