Welcome Message from the Chair

Welcome to Earth, Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (EESC). We are passionate about our environment and train students in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Geography and Geology each with an emphasis on Sustainability. Our faculty are active in research outside of the classroom and are studying critical environmental issues including sustainable groundwater management, coastal hydrology, greenhouse gas measurements, sustainable food systems, fire ecology, Hayward fault tectonics, municipal water sustainability, and nature-based climate solutions.

We truly are a community here in EESC. You will find that our class sizes are relatively small, allowing you to interact with your professors and get to know the other students, making lifelong friendships. In EESC we emphasize hands-on learning with ample opportunity for field trips and outdoor experiences. Our majors secure rewarding and well paying jobs in the Bay Area and beyond. We encourage you to engage with the EESC Club and reach out to your professors if you want field and research experiences outside of the classroom and to pursue professional internships. If you have any questions about our majors or need career advising or help choosing classes please contact me! My email is: michael.lee@csueastbay.edu.
