The Princeton Environmental
Institute (PEI) coordinates environmental education, research
and outreach activities at Princeton University. Its more than
65 associated faculty members in the natural sciences, engineering,
social sciences and humanities share a common interest in advancing
environmental research and teaching and promoting environmental
programs on campus and in the surrounding community. The undergraduate
Program in Environmental Studies (ENV) offers a Certificate in
Environmental Studies to students from all departments. PEI also
administers graduate and postdoctoral training and fellowship
programs. To make the results of Princeton scholarly research
available and useful outside of academia, PEI organizes outreach
activities for teachers, school children, private sector leaders,
policymakers and the general public.
PEI’s interdisciplinary research
program is currently focused chiefly in the sciences, with particular
strengths in global change, biogeochemical cycles, molecular geochemistry,
biodiversity and conservation, and environmental science and policy.
It is organized principally through its four centers: the Carbon
Mitigation Initiative, the Princeton Climate Center, a unit
of the
Cooperative Institute for Climate Science, the Center
for Environmental BioInorganic Chemistry, and the Center
for Biocomplexity. |
