Institute for Environmental Science and Engineering

The Mission of the Institute for Environmental Science and Engineering is to support research and teaching in the sciences and technology that are essential to understand and improve the environment. The Institute is multi-disciplinary and included not only a broad representation of the engineering disciplines but also a wide variety of other natural and social sciences. It plays an increasing role as a bridge between basic research, often associated with an academic environment, and the more applied studies necessary for sound environmental management. Thus, IESE focuses the expertise available throughout the University of California on environmental problems of current and future concern.
