Overview

Environmental Earth Sciences is the study of interactions between humans and Earth's natural environment. You will study the influence of human activities on the local and global environment as well as how human actions are shaped and controlled by the geologic and geomorphic processes occurring around us.

Environmental Earth science is of global importance today and in the future, as we face more and more challenging environmental issues.

Careers
