Tackling Environmental Challenges

In Environmental Science and Management, we offer applied, interdisciplinary programs that focus on environmental challenges in coupled natural and human systems at local to global scales. We let knowledge serve our community by fostering and restoring ecological and social resilience through education and research about the function and management of biological, chemical, physical, and social systems.

Our expertise spans atmospheric, freshwater, marine, terrestrial, and human systems, as well as the processes that link ecosystems to human populations. Building on our research expertise and partnerships, we provide high quality education for environmental scientists and science-driven managers, giving students the skills and training opportunities they need to excel in professional environmental careers.
