The climate crisis is here. We need solutions. Help us protect our planet by studying and impacting the natural and social sciences. Your donation helps fund a better understanding of how we protect each other. Your gift makes an enormous difference and helps us create change beyond our campus.
Here are just some ways in which a contribution will help the department further our mission:
Research & Discovery
The Department of Earth & Environment is diverse in its research foci. While our faculty, researchers, and students participate in the following three research clusters; Earth & Environment is distinct in our ability to address these questions from an interdisciplinary perspective across both the natural and the social sciences.
Student Organizations
The department sponsors and co-sponsors multiple student-led organizations that enhance our curricula, provide activities and experience beyond the classroom, and build community among various student populations.
- BU Geological Society (BUGS)
- Environmental Student Organization (ESO)
- Earth & Environment Graduate Student Association (EEGSA)
Collaboration
The Department of Earth & Environment provides modern geological, geochemical, remote sensing, GIS, visualization, and computing laboratory facilities for use in undergraduate and graduate research. These facilities play a critical role as part of research projects supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, US Geological Survey, Sea Grant, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, The Nature Conservancy, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the National Park Service.
