Message from the Chair

Dr. KimballWelcome to the Earth Sciences department. We pride ourselves on being excellent teachers and talented researchers offering lots of undergraduate research opportunities. Most of our classes have a hands-on and field work component, but we also ensure you have the theoretical knowledge necessary in your chosen profession. Besides majors and minors in our three disciplines, we offer certificates and a departmental honors program. 

You'll find a multitude of departmental extra-curricular activities to develop your organizational and leadership skills. You can be an officer in a student club or honors society, attend professional conferences, organize a symposium, participate in undergraduate research, work as a teaching assistant or tutor, or learn how to maintain and operate technical equipment like weather stations or well-diggers.

Please contact me directly with any questions, of if you would like to visit our department. We'd love to show you our facilities and tell you more about the program.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sytske (Seets-kah) Kimball
Professor of Meteorology
Chair, Department of Earth Sciences
