Prepare to confront the climate emergency. This program explores the scientific foundations of our planet's environmental issues. Integrate biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences with human geography to solve problems like floods, melting permafrost, droughts, wildfires, peatland deterioration, sea level rise, coastal transformations, and shifting economic prospects in climate-vulnerable industries. You'll gain expertise in practical applications including computer modeling and develop abilities to create a sustainable, low-emission world. Enhance your academic knowledge through laboratory experiments, field studies, and paid cooperative work placements. Focus on your passions. During your senior year, collaborate with faculty on either a culminating capstone project or a personalized thesis. Opt for a research-intensive thesis to pave the way for graduate studies or launch your professional journey by selecting an industry-connected project that partners you with external organizations.
