About Us
The Mission of the IAS is to foster, facilitate and conduct science-based
interdisciplinary environmental research that seeks to understand how human
actions impact the environment, and to use that knowledge to suggest scientific,
engineering, policy and/or educational solutions to environmental problems.
Welcome to our website. Here you can find out more about our research and
outreach activities, who our faculty and staff are, the graduate programs in envrironmental
science we administer, the departments and other organizations we interact with, and various

From the Director
The IAS is a thriving interdisciplinary research unit, where fascinating questions about our environment are explored.
The IAS brings biologists, ecologists, geologists, engineers,
computer scientists, chemists, geographers, archeologists,
policy experts, philosophers and many others together
to work on some of the most pressing environmental
puzzles we face today.
Together we can solve them!
Sam Atkinson,
Professor and Director
