ESE scientists and engineers investigate the fundamental physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape Earth’s environment and provide the scientific and engineering underpinnings needed to inform resilient practices by governments, businesses, and consumers. The department trains students to solve problems that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries and equips them with a holistic knowledge base about environmental systems. Students in ESE receive a broad education and carry out research addressing some of the grand science and engineering challenges of our times.
