Clayton H. Riddell Faculty of Environment, Earth, and Resources

Department of Environment and Geography

Students and faculty in the Department of Environment and Geography address our changing environment through an interdisciplinary lens. Drawing from the physical sciences, social sciences and humanities, our work addresses a wide range of vital topics, including climate change and resource extraction; Arctic ecosystems, governance, and resilience; drought, storms and changing weather patterns; access to adequate and safe food; reconciliation and the legacies of colonialism; tourism, rural development and wildlife conservation. Through our expertise we provide our students with a greater awareness of the pressing issues of our time, preparing them to be leaders in a range of areas.
