Earthweek, running from Monday, March 27 to Friday, March 31 this year, is an annual student-led, week-long event put on by the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences (SEES). The week will celebrate the research being done in the seven departments within SEES (School of Natural Resources, Arizona Institutes of Resilience, Environmental Science, Geosciences, Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences, Laboratory of Tree Ring Research, and School of Geography and Development) and host a variety of other events celebrating the Earth and our relationships with it.  

This year's theme is Transitions: Building an Informed Hope in the Face of Changing Climates. The global language surrounding the topics of climate change is transitioning from prevention to mitigation and adaptation. The effects of climate change are being felt all over the world, and as a global society we have come to understand the inevitability of the phenomenon. As a result, the political climates, social climates and economic climates are constantly changing and adapting to our reality. As scientists dedicated to studying the earth and its complexities, we have the knowledge and capabilities to help our communities build an informed hope when faced with the overwhelming stressors that are yet to come.
