- The mission of the Department of Earth and Space Sciences is to further the
understanding of Earth, the solar system, and their histories.
The department's scope extends from the center of Earth to the rim of the solar
system, and its activities cut across traditional disciplines of physics,
chemistry, biology, geology, and mathematics. The faculty, students, and staff
examine Earth's interior structure, chemistry, motion, and dynamics; geologic
hazards; processes affecting the surface environment; the surrounding space
environment; planetary processes; and geobiology.
