School Location
The Environmental Science and Engineering Division (ESE) offers graduate programs leading to Ph.D. degree. The programs of study are interdisciplinary in scope and designed to prepare students to investigate and analyze environmental systems, as well as evaluate and design natural and engineered solutions to protect, preserve and benefit from the earth's resources. ESE prides itself in the diversity of faculty, staff and students within the program and the strong interaction that occurs among them encompassing both intellectual and social aspects of the university educational experience.

Research
Field investigations, lab and field experimental studies, and modeling studies are carried out by teams of ESE researchers covering topics such as:

  • Membrane technologies for water treatment and reuse; onsite and decentralized wastewater systems; treatment of emerging organic chemicals and pathogens in water
  • Watershed systems analysis and modeling; fate and transport of contaminants in soil and water systems groundwater-surface water interactions
  • Molecular analysis of microbial communities; geobiology and life in extreme environments; biofuels and renewable energy generation; applications of biological processes in treatment technologies; biotreatment of metal- and radionuclide- wastes
  • Environmental sensors and monitoring systems; bioavailability and toxicity of metals; bacterial source tracking
  • Remediation of soil and groundwater; reclamation of mining sites; and restoration of disturbed lands.

    Master of Science
    Within the M.S. program, full-time students may elect the non-thesis option, based upon coursework and project activities, or the thesis option in which laboratory and/or field research is incorporated into the curriculum under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
