Department of Earth System Science, University of California Irvine
Studying Global Climate and Environmental Change: Causes, Impacts, and Solutions Mission statement: To contribute through research and teaching to a fundamental scientific understanding of the Earth as a coupled system, to train the next generation of Earth scientists, and to inform and educate policy makers and the public-at-large. We envision a society that understands the impact of human activities on the global environment and the interactions within the Earth system that preserve the habitability of the planet. Session Overview: Earth System Science (ESS) is a highly interdisciplinary field that focuses on how the atmosphere, land, oceans, cryosphere, and life interact as a system. Faculty and students in the Department of Earth System Science at UC Irvine, the first ESS department in the nation, study a wide range of topics from how climate change will impact sea level, ecosystems, and extreme weather events to how human systems, such as agriculture and energy, are likely to impact and be impacted by global environmental change. ESS is committed to environmental and climate justice, to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM, and we stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Come visit our booth to learn about student opportunities in the ESS Department at UCI! Degrees we offer: B.S. in Earth System Science B.S.: https://www.ess.uci.edu/undergrad/bs/requirements B.A. in Environmental Science and Policy: https://www.ess.uci.edu/ensp PhD in Earth System Science (Fully funded!): https://www.ess.uci.edu/grad Other links: UCI Homepage: https://uci.edu/ Earth System Science home page: https://www.ess.uci.edu/ Inclusive Excellence at UCI: https://inclusion.uci.edu/ |

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency that supports basic research to create knowledge that transforms the future. NSF provides support for all fields of fundamental science and engineering, excluding medical sciences, to keep the United States at the leading edge of discovery in areas from astronomy to geology to zoology. In addition to funding research, NSF also supports the future of science by providing direct and indirect funding for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels to prepare a diverse and globally engaged STEM workforce.
Within NSF, the Directorate for Geosciences (GEO) supports research spanning the Atmospheric, Earth, Ocean, and Polar sciences. GEO supports basic research that improves our understanding of the many processes that affect the global environment. These processes include the role of the atmosphere and oceans in climate, the planetary water cycle, and ocean acidification. NSF staff are looking forward to talking with attendees during NABG's Exhibitor Showcase and Virtual Happy Hour. Please stop by our virtual exhibit booth to talk with Program Officers. You can email any questions to ear-communication@nsf.gov. |
