Our department is built on a strong foundation of dedicated faculty
who are engaged in vital research to better understand our environment.
These scholars are also excellent teachers who strive to inspire our
next generation of thinkers. This Department is a multidisciplinary
unit
comprised of three primary groups: Chemistry,
Environmental Science and Physics & Astronomy. These groups
also expand into other cutting edge fields such as Biological Chemistry
and Planetary Physics. With the knowledge gained through research, the
Department provides a balanced and well rounded education for its
students to understand our planet and how we influence and are
influenced by it.
