Rio Mesa Center
Located along almost three miles of Dolores River in the magnificent red-rock country of southeastern Utah, The University of Utah's Rio Mesa Center provides opportunities for field-based interdisciplinary research that emphasizes ecology and the environment in the broadest sense. Rio Mesa Center is a real-world laboratory for integrated thinking about humans and their place in biologically complex, but fragile, systems. The Center promotes research, courses and professional training at the interface of history, anthropology, biology, art and human sustainability around the following themes:
- Water as the lifeblood of the West
- Human history and sustainability on the Colorado Plateau
- Solitude and inspiration
Our facilities are available for research, classes, workshops, retreats and writers- and artists-in-residence.
Watch our 14 minute video about the Center's mission and programs located here.
