EarthWeek 2022:
Many Voices, One Planet
EarthWeek is an annual student-led research symposium brings together researchers from each department in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (SEES). The departments within SEES include Environmental Science, School of Natural Resources and the Environment, Geosciences, Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, School of Geography and Development, and the Laboratory for Tree Ring Research.
EarthWeek is a time for the SEES to show how we as humans acknowledge and celebrate the Earth and our relationships with it. EarthWeek is also a time for SEES students, faculty, and staff to expand our knowledge.
