The ESS faculty represent a broad
range of interests and experience dealing with key aspects of global climate
change and the functioning of the Earth as a system. Research interests
focus on environmental change in the atmosphere and at the terrestrial
and oceanic interfaces with the atmosphere. The faculty have interests
in atmospheric chemistry, particularly in areas dealing with changes in
atmospheric ozone and in greenhouse gas concentrations, in atmospheric
dynamics, in oceanography and paleoceanography, and in biogeochemical processes
of the tropical and boreal terrestrial systems. The ESS department faculty
are active as members of a variety of boards and panels directing the global
change research agenda.
