Earth Sciences Research Administration
Home to more than 50 centers and research groups, School of Earth Sciences affords its researchers the freedom to look across disciplines for solutions, benefiting from many perspectives. The School of Earth Sciences is home to four departments and two interdisciplinary programs, offering a range of graduate and undergraduate degrees.
The School of Earth Sciences is housed in four buildings:
- Geology Corner/Braun Hall (Building 320 of the Quad)
- Ruth Wattis Mitchell Earth Sciences Building
- Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Earth Sciences Research Building
- Yang & Yamazaki Environment and Energy Building (Y2E2)
You can see building locations by searching for them on Stanford's Google Map.

Department of Environmental Earth System Science (EESS)
The Department of Environmental Earth System Science (EESS) works to understand, predict, and respond to human-caused and natural environmental change at local to global scales. To do so, the department investigates the complexity of the global system, including the interactions, synergies, and feedbacks that link the oceans, atmosphere, land surfaces, and freshwater systems.

Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences (GES)
The Department of Geological & Environmental Sciences (GES) focuses on the history and structure of the Earth, the physics and chemistry of Earth materials, the processes that cycle those materials on a global scale, and the interaction of human activities with geological processes and resources.

Department of Geophysics (GP)
Geophysics (GP) is a field that integrates geology, mathematics, and physics in order to understand how the Earth works. Geophysicists study Earth processes through a combination of laboratory experiments, computational and theoretical modeling, remote imaging, and direct observation. Research in the Geophysics Department at Stanford has both fundamental and strategic elements.
