EVS Program AreasThe program summaries below highlight the capabilities and problem-solving approaches EVS applies to environmental and energy problems. Additional program and project summaries are available through the EVS Fact Sheet Index. Advanced Tool DevelopmentProgrammatic knowledge and practical field experience are combined to develop innovative tools and approaches that facilitate achieving technical objectives. Advanced information and visualization technologies are used to compile, manage, and communicate environmental information.
Atmospheric and Climate ResearchThe Division performs fundamental process oriented research and analysis in the areas of aerosol science, boundary layer and micrometeorology, air quality, global climate, remote sensing, and atmospheric chemistry
Environmental Policy and PlanningStudies are conducted to characterize environmental, economic and social implications of proposed policies and regulations applicable to energy systems and federal facilities. Technical assistance is also given for planning, management and training to facilitate compliance with current and long-term environmental regulatory requirements
Integrated Environmental AssessmentsImpact assessment, response to reviewer comments, and related technical support are provided to NEPA and similar formal decision-making processes for energy development and other federal activities.
National SecurityThe objective of these programs is to support efforts to reduce national and international threat from nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
Risk-Based Environmental Assessment and ManagementInformation and tools are developed to support decision-making based on health, safety, environmental, economic, and socio-cultural risks.
Site Environmental Restoration and StewardshipEnvironmental evaluation and planning projects address soil, surface water, sediment, and groundwater contamination at federal sites. Assessments are also conducted of approaches for long-term stewardship of remediated sites with residual contamination.
