Environmental Science and Engineering

Dr. Matthew Gardner, Program Administrator, Earth System Initiative

Wednesday, April 21, 2004

Abstract
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.

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.


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

Light refreshments will be provided.
