A Case for Majoring in Earth and Planetary or Environmental Sciences
March 11, 2025
In this new vignette, Professor Maggie Osburn explains the roles of Earth and environmental scientists in a world affected by climate change and the energy transition and how our Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences (DEEPS) trains students to fill these roles. She also elaborates specifically on the benefits of joining a lab group like her own.
In a vignette in the same series, Professor Patricia Beddows provides a broader overview of DEEPS and how it fits into the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences at Northwestern University.
