Our Impact in the World
We make an impact through faculty research that uncovers how our planet works, by teaching the next generation to understand and manage Earth’s resources, and by communicating our science to policy makers, influencers and the public.

Our Community
We are scientists! Undergraduates, graduate students, professors, educational staff, and alumni working professionals. We build community in our field trips, classes, and cocurriculars. We care about the Earth and making its resources available to people across the globe now and in the future.
We face enormous hurdles as a society in dealing with a changing climate, over extraction of resources, and biodiversity loss. Still, I remain optimistic about our ability to identify and design solutions.

I'm fascinated by the way our world works. I use technology to make visible what is not visible to the naked eye.
