Mission

Our primary goal is to develop better understanding of Earth as a complex and dynamic system, including how humans interact with Earth’s environments, hazards and resources. Read more about the mission of the School of Earth and Climate Sciences.

History

Geology has been at UMaine since the beginning. It grew from courses being taught by professors from various departments, to a single professor teaching geology to engineers and foresters, to its own department, to generating the Climate Change Institute. Read more about the history of the School of Earth and Climate Sciences.
