The School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) is an interdisciplinary program that studies the Earth's physical and chemical environment. EAS takes an integrated Earth system science approach in which all components of the Earth system are studied and analyzed as parts of the larger coupled system. The curriculum is designed to provide its graduates with the intellectual insights needed to understand the evolution of the Earth's environment and its possible future changes. This integrated approach provides the context for professional training in environmental science and meteorology, as well as specialization for research careers in weather and climate dynamics, atmospheric chemistry and air quality, oceanography, aqueous geochemistry and biogeochemistry, paleoclimatology, atmospheric physics and remote sensing, geophysics, and geohydrology.
