The urgent global crises we face today include climate change, biodiversity decline, extreme weather patterns, environmental contamination, and the overexploitation of Earth's finite resources. For those intrigued by the scientific study of humanity's impact on our world and dedicated to forging a greener tomorrow, the Environmental and Sustainability Science program offers the perfect academic path.
By choosing among three specialized tracks (Earth Systems and Climate Science, Environmental Biology, or Environmental Chemistry), you'll gain expertise in analyzing human influences on natural processes, ecological systems, wildlife populations, and geological formations, while focusing on a specific scientific perspective for addressing environmental concerns.
All students will complete foundational coursework in geography, geology, biology, and chemistry to build essential competencies for professional work or advanced research in environmental fields. You will: Explore the geological and chemical mechanisms that form our world. Investigate biodiversity's development and preservation across the planet. Examine the origins and effects of climate shifts and ecological contamination. Master experimental design techniques and statistical analysis methods. Gain practical skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite imaging technology. Develop strategies for crafting impactful environmental policies and safeguarding threatened species.
The program concludes with a capstone experience, bringing together students from all specializations to collectively investigate an environmental challenge by combining their diverse academic perspectives.
Earth Systems and Climate Science
Housed within the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, this concentration requires advanced geography and geology coursework, preparing you with cross-disciplinary tools to tackle critical ecological issues of the human-dominated geological era.
