Earth and Atmospheric Sciences

Faculty in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences field study three main themes: geology, climate and meteorology, and soils

Specific research areas include:

  • soil biology, soil physics and soil chemistry
  • glacial geology
  • geobiology
  • geochemistry
  • climate modelling
  • micrometeorology
  • soil and land resource management

The University of Guelph’s SES distinguishes itself from other environmental science programs in that it comprises a true integration of the life and physical sciences to address important environmental problems in forest, aquatic and agro-ecosystems.
In addition to our unique research capabilities, the SES is committed to providing a learner-centered environmental science education to undergraduate and graduate students – one that is second to none in North America.
