NAU has launched the new School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability which combines the Department of Geology with the Center for Sustainable Environments to combine educational programs and outreach in environmental sciences, environmental studies and geology, and graduate programs in environmental sciences and policy and geology.
NAU says its vision for the new school is for it to be "the premier school for research, outreach and education in Earth sciences and environmental sustainability" in the Mountain West.
Hydrologist Abe Springer is director of the School.
