Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS)

The Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) studies the Earth and other planets, focusing on their physical properties, processes, and history. It explores topics like earthquakes, climate, weather, oceanography, and planetary geology to understand how our planet and others evolve and function. Researchers use scientific methods to analyze data, develop models, and solve challenges related to natural hazards, climate change, and planetary exploration. EAPS combines geology, meteorology, oceanography, and planetary science to deepen our knowledge of Earth's environment and its place in the solar system.
