Understanding the Earth to Save the Earth: Environmental Career Paths
Professor Roy Plotnick, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences
Tuesday, November 15
4:00-5:00 pm
121 Burnham Hall
Our environment – the Earth system we live in and depend on – is increasingly being altered by human activity, bringing a new and urgent dimension to the study of Earth and environmental sciences. Our understanding of Earth processes provides essential information on critical natural resources like water, air, and soil; the materials needed for innovative construction, manufacturing, and technology; and the framework for exploring other planets, moons, and beyond. Careers using a major in Earth and environmental science are many, including basic science, law, public health and policy, medicine, and engineering. Current projections are for strong growth in employment with jobs paying well above average.
