Department Announcements

  • As of 9/1/22, we renamed ourselves from the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS) to the Department of Earth and Climate Sciences (ECS). For years, we have incorporated climate science and paleoclimate topics into our courses, and we are now in the process of expanding our faculty lines and modifying our curriculum to include both earth and climate science fields. As we complete this transition, any reference to EOS is synonymous with ECS.
  • We have a new guidebook to provide information to prospective and current students
  • Visit our Department Highlights for recent field trip photos and stay tuned for future news!
