American Society of Reclamation Sciences

American Society of Reclamation Sciences (ASRS) (formerly the American Society of Mining and Reclamation, or ASMR) is a society that promotes the advancement of basic and applied reclamation science through research and technology transfer. ASRS is a US-based professional society with membership from academics, students, consultants, and others concerned with mitigating environmental impacts. ASRS initially focused on the development of mining and reclamation practices and policies to mitigate environmental impacts from coal mining. Today the organization focuses on all aspects of land reclamation, protection and enhancement of soil and water resources, abandoned mine lands, climate change, educational outreach, state and federal regulations, reclamation planning, surface water restoration, wetland restoration, and water treatment.
