<div><b>Abstract</b></div>
<div>The Earth System Initiative is a multidisciplinary environmental
research and education enterprise at MIT whose goal is to leverage
MIT's expertise in fundamental environmental science and engineering
in order to shed light on the chemical, biological, and geological
cycles that collectively make up our planet.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In it's almost two years of existence, ESI is well on its way to
developing a portfolio of research and education activities that
reflect these goals. This seminar will describe the Earth System
Initiative in detail, will outline its research objectives, and will
describe ongoing and planned research and education programs in
environmental science and engineering.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div>Part of the Environment and Sustainability Seminar Series
sponsored by the MIT Laboratory for Energy and the Environment
