As a society, we must be able to find and efficiently use natural resources and safeguard those resources for future generations. Our students and faculty conduct fundamental and applied research to further these goals in study areas including improved hydrocarbon exploration and extraction methods, natural hazard assessment and mitigation, water scarcity and contamination, and human-Earth system interactions.
