The School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability (SESES) is the new home for undergraduate programs in environmental sciences, environmental studies, and geology, and graduate programs in environmental sciences and policy, geology, and quaternary sciences at NAU.
We believe that to be educated about the environment one must be educated about the world. Our students examine all aspects of ecosystems at a variety of different scales and from the perspectives of not only the natural and social sciences, but also the humanities.
We teach students how to solve environmental problems for careers in research, industry, education, government, or public service. Our programs are organized to ground students in how the Earth and environmental systems operate, but also provides them the experience and knowledge of how management and policy works so students can translate that science to appropriate decision making processes.
