Honors in Environmental Earth Sciences
Environmental Earth Science is the study of interactions between humans and Earth’s natural environment. It encompasses the influence of human activities on the local and global environment, as well as how our actions are shaped and controlled by the geologic and geomorphic processes occurring around us. Environmental Earth Scientists are typically employed by consulting companies, large resource and industrial firms, and government organizations.
