History

From the inaccessible depths of the terrestrial interior to the vast reaches of our galaxy, our planet and the natural systems surrounding it provide important clues to the course of our future. At MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), we persue research seeking to advance understanding of the fundamental controls on complex natural systems, and on the environmental challenges facing our world, while providing a new generation of scientific leaders with sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge to tackle the complex unsolved problems of our science.

Faculty and students work in a wide range of disciplines, including geology, geochemistry, geophysics, geobiology, atmospheric science, oceanography, astronomy and planetary science. The interdisciplinary nature of that research is a hallmark of the department; and, many faculty members work in more than one area. This gives EAPS the unique ability to tackle complex issues from local environments to planetary scales.
