Welcome to Earth and Environmental
Sciences (EES)! We study three components of the Earth system: rocks
(geology), water (hydrology), and air (meteorology), and link them all
together in the study of environmental science. We try to understand
how the Earth system works and how humans may be impacting our environment.
Our research ranges from fossils to glaciers to clouds and microbes.
Check us out - we've got lots to offer!
