No matter how sophisticated our technology becomes, society will always require from the environment fertile soil, clean air, pure water, a stable climate, and an ozone umbrella to shield us from harmful radiation. The fragile and delicate ecological checks and balances that have sustained life since its origin more than three billion years ago are only now beginning to be understood. But much remains to be learned; for example we can predict with certainty the orbital characteristics of a weather satellite, yet ironically, we are often unable to predict with certainty tomorrow's weather. Harmful intrusions into the environment can be a result of how we use technology. These intrusions can also be considered in their behavioral, social and political contexts.
These cultural, economic, political, scientific, technological and social complexities presented by our interactions with the environment present some of the most formidable intellectual challenges facing us today. As a consequence, any single perceived environmental issue involves the interlacing of many of our liberal arts disciplines.
The faculty teaching the Environmental Studies Program draw their expertise from a wide spectrum of disciplines. We are committed to involving participants fully in the multidisciplinary nature of environmental problems and the search for solutions. The programs in the Environmental Studies Department provide firm, integrated foundations in both the social-political-cultural and the scientific-technical areas. This preparation will make students environmentally aware members of society in many professions, graduate study in Environmental Studies/Sciences, or both.
