This presentation explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in shaping landscape architecture
and urbanism. AI-driven tools are revolutionizing site analysis, design optimization, and environmental
modeling, enabling data-driven decision-making for resilient, adaptive, and sustainable urban landscapes.
From predictive climate modeling to generative design, AI enhances efficiency, creativity, and ecological
responsiveness in planning and development. The session examines current applications, emerging trends,
and ethical considerations, offering insights into how AI can foster more sustainable and human-centered
environments. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of AI’s potential to redefine the future of landscape
architecture and urbanism.

The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) provides science-based knowledge to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century. SERC leads research on coastal ecosystems—where the land meets the sea—to inform real-world decisions for wise policies, best business practices, and a sustainable planet.

Learn from SERC's Internship and Fellowship Coordinator about their summer internship program for undergraduate and masters students or recent graduates. You will gain insight on what to expect from the program in addition to what is looked for in competitive applicants.

Global Community of Practice (CoP) is creating a space for faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students to collaborate, learn, access resources, and further Agriculture and Natural Resources ( AGNR) goals towards increased international engagement.

The University of Maryland Extension and College of Agriculture and Natural Resources will host an all-day workshop focusing on fruits, insects, and management on Wednesday, February 19th, at the Wye Research and Education Center, 124 Wye Narrows Drive in Queenstown.

Join us for the next MomentUMD Live with Kevin Atticks at The Stamp Atrium on January 29. 

UME will host town hall meetings across the state to gather feedback and input from community residents and stakeholders. This is a unique opportunity for community members to help shape UME’s strategic focus and influence future programming and outreach efforts. These town hall meetings offer a forum for community members to share insights on local needs, discuss pressing opportunities, ask questions, and provide valuable feedback on UME’s future direction. The perspectives and ideas shared during this event will be instrumental as UME develops a plan that responds to the challenges and priorities identified by Maryland communities.

The use of deicing salts and rising sea level is increasingly making our surface and ground water more saline. This issue has major implications on aquatic ecosystems and the numerous species that depend on them. In addition, increasing salinity can increase corrosion with subsequent infrastructure damage and releasing toxic metals in our drinking water. This webinar will discuss the impact of this issue, ways to reduce impacts and protect drinking water quality.
