Welcome to EESS
Our goal is to understand, predict, and respond to human-caused and natural environmental change at local to global scales. To take on this challenge, we strive to investigate the complexity of the global system, including the interactions, synergies, and feedbacks that link the oceans, atmosphere, land surfaces, and freshwater systems. Through the graduate and undergraduate programs, we will train a new generation of scientists that comprehend the multiple facets of environmental processes.
