About the Program
Earth Systems brings together the natural sciences and the study of human systems to help us understand how our planet works—and how we can shape its future. Our most pressing social-environmental challenges emerge from complex interactions among climate, oceans, ecosystems, geology, technology, and society. Addressing these challenges requires the ability to connect insights across disciplines, recognize interactions among systems, and integrate diverse perspectives. Earth Systems provides a rigorous interdisciplinary foundation that equips students with the scientific understanding, systems perspective, and analytical skills needed to explore complex social-environmental questions and develop solutions for a changing world.
