Welcome
Interim Department Head
Welcome to the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences. Our programs span multiple disciplines, with faculty and students exploring areas such as severe weather, the solar system, stable isotopes, geophysics, and earth and space science education.
We take pride in our faculty, many of whom hold dual appointments in the Colleges of Science and Agriculture, highlighting our commitment to a collaborative academic environment.
Our department aspires to be a national leader in the quality of our undergraduate and graduate programs and teaching excellence. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive learning environment where students from diverse backgrounds and perspectives can succeed. Our full statement on core values is available here. Guided by these values, we continue to grow, welcoming five new faculty members in fall 2024.
The EAPS department remains committed to its four strategic initiatives: Energy and the Environment, Severe Weather Science, Planetary Exploration, and Geodata Science. Through our teaching, research, and outreach, we strive to make a positive impact on the fields of earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences locally, nationally, and internationally.
