Announcements

  • The Environmental, Earth, and Ocean Sciences Department is now the School for the Environment. We are in the process of changing our website to reflect this change, and moving, and retitling, many of our pages. If you can't find what you are looking for, email webeditor@umb.edu.

Welcome to the School for the Environment, formerly known as the Environmental, Earth, and Ocean Sciences Department. Affiliated with the College of Science and Mathematics, the School for the Environment is the University of Massachusetts Boston's premier interdisciplinary environmental school. SFE integrates the natural and social sciences to generate and apply new knowledge about the quality of our environment and the sustainable use of its resources.

The research sites of our faculty and students range from local to global, from the health of the Boston Harbor to whale migration patterns in Antarctica. Please read our website or visit us in person to learn more about the work we do, and how you can get involved. Welcome!
