Read MoreOur Scientific Mission in the 21st Century
EESA Scientists are developing new, innovative approaches and scientific understanding relevant to both energy and the future environment.
Our Mission
To develop the foundational knowledge and capabilities needed to understand, predict, and advance stewardship of Earth’s Climate and Ecosystems.
Our Vision
A future where society can make informed decisions about the sustainable use of our planet’s resources based on advanced knowledge of the integrated Earth system.
Program Domains
Climate & Atmosphere Processes
Climate and Atmosphere Processes scientists study the processes that drive variability and change in the atmosphere and broader climate system. They develop modeling tools to predict these changes at different time and space scales.
Earth Systems and Society
Our mission is to provide decision-relevant insight at the interface of human and natural systems to support resiliency of energy, water, agriculture, and built environments in the face of global and regional change.
Environmental & Biological Systems Science
Develop a predictive understanding of environmental processes and microbial metabolic diversity that mediate biogeochemical cycles, and develop robust environmental solutions.
