In January, 2011, ESS launched a new website! We have new graphics, updated content, and a more dynamic technical infrastructure. Our new site is averaging more than 4,000 visitors per month. The new website includes information about our academic programs, research projects and more. We also added a variety of dynamic new content. Publications are periodically added to the research section. Graduate Student awards are now listed within the Graduate section. The online directory is now searchable. The new site is a more vibrant representation of the research and teaching underway in ESS.
