Earth & Environmental Sciences
The School of Earth and Environmental Science is a scientific community that studies the Earth and its neighbors in space. The School aims to provide a diverse, inclusive environment which fosters open-minded critical thinking and debate, and is committed to creating a scientifically literate and informed society. The School welcomes everyone who shares these aspirations.
SoEES produces new knowledge about earth and environmental processes and human-environment interactions at all geographic and temporal scales, provides the scientific basis for environmental and climate policy, trains the next generation of earth and environmental scientists, and disseminates knowledge and solutions for the benefit of students and society.
The combination of field, instrumental, computational, and modeling approaches in the earth and environmental sciences within one unit is a major strength. SoEES facilitates interdisciplinary research, teaching, and outreach/extension activities across the various departments and laboratories.
The School has established excellent facilities for quality education in the field of environment and earth sciences, particularly through Distance Learning.
The School is having four teaching departments viz. Department of Geology, Department of Forestry and Environmental Science, Department of Geography and Natural Resource Management and Department of Remote Sensing and GIS.
SoEES offers four Post Graduate courses in Environmental Science, Geography and Geoinformatics. In addition to this, school has started Certificate course in geoinformatics under career oriented certificate courses.
The SoEES is working as interdisciplinary center to learn and disseminate the knowledge in various aspects of environment by offering M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees to students.
The School intends to impart special laboratory training to students who can easily handle the emerging environmental problems of various kinds faced by the industries and the society on both technological and environmental fronts.
Objectives of the School
To promote comprehensive understanding of the subject by teaching both conventional and new areas of relevance in the domain of Earth and Environmental Science.
To promote quality teaching with regular up-gradation of course structure, syllabus and course materials for the students.
To promote comprehensive and interdisciplinary knowledge in both teaching and research by emphasizing inter-linking geology with biological, chemical and physical sciences.
To motivate and inform students about the opportunities and future prospects in the field of Earth and Environmental Science.
To develop the overall personality of students and prepare them to compete and success in their endeavors and inculcate the values of tolerance, progressiveness and fraternity that contributes towards the making of a healthy and prosperous society.
