Our faculty promote people-centered solutions for environmental & natural resource management, for sustainability transitions, and for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience. Together, we have expertise in various disciplines and fields, including archaeoecology; ecological economics; ecology; environmental, social, and behavioral sciences; geographic information science (GIS); human-environment geography; land change science; natural resource and environmental policy; and recreation resource management.
We deliver undergraduate education in environmental science & sustainability, environmental studies, recreation resource management, geography, and geospatial information science. We deliver graduate education in interdisciplinary environmental social science, ecology, recreation resource management, geography, geospatial information science and environmental policy. Our researchers use the social, environmental, and integrative sciences to understand human-environment interactions at a range of spatial scales and to bring human considerations into natural resource and environmental management.
Values of community engagement inform our teaching, and we are USU-certified as a Community-Engaged Department.
