Prof. Reza Khanbilvardi is the Program Director.
His goal is to lead the Earth System Science & Environmental Engineering Program to a new level.
MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
With ever changing Earth's environment due to extreme weather and climate change, a degree focused on Earth System and Environmental engineering (ESE) allows early career STEM professionals to seek in-depth knowledge with multidisciplinary approach to solving global environmental issues. A degree in ESE will allow students to be forward thinkers in providing sustainable solutions by utilizing innovative advancements that help sustain Earth and Ecosystem services. The ESE degree will also allow students to deploy cutting edge advances in the fields of Environmental Sensing, Monitoring through applications of AI/ML, Data sciences, uncrewed technologies and other computational tools and techniques.

ABOUT ESE
Human activity is increasingly perturbing our fragile environment by depleting our natural resources, destroying ecosystems, and accelerating climate change. A sustainable planet requires engineers and scientists to understand the impact of their decisions on the built environment and natural systems. The undeniable challenge of our time is efficient management, sustainable and equitable use of Earth’s finite natural resources on air, land, water, and energy. Read more here
