About
Geology is the study of Earth's past and the processes that have occurred throughout its history, and continue to alter our planet. Environmental science is the study of interactions within the Earth's biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and geosphere, concentrating on natural and man-made perturbations such as pollution and changes to our climate and environment.
We are the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at California State University, Chico. Our unique program combines expertise in both geology and environmental science to provide an experience that uses scientific principles to understand Earth processes. âEnvironmental Sciencesâ encompasses a broad field of study that looks at the complex interactions of water, air, soil and life, and how those interactions both affect and are affected by human activity.
