Welcome to the Environmental Dynamics Program
Environmental Dynamics (ENDY) is the study of complex interactions between natural systems and human activity. It requires an interdisciplinary research approach and integration with advanced technologies. The program's focus is human-environmental interactions within recent Earth history. It stresses interdisciplinary analyses of:
- Geophysical, biological
- Geochemical
- Sociocultural interactions related to environmental change.
These include research emphases in:
- Natural and social impacts of global climatic change
- Paleoclimatology and dendrochronology
- Geoinformatics and associated geospatial technologies
- Environmental pollution and ecological degradation
- Landscape evolution and land use change
- Impacts of natural hazards
- Watershed sciences (water quality and quantity).
The ENDY program aims to develop strategies for sustainable societies based on scientific research and respect for human cultures. For the complete program description go to the Prospective Students homepage, view current Research, or recent ENDY News.
