Impact

Understanding our world is the first step toward improving it. In the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, we connect scientific discovery with questions that matter to people and communities: How can we protect water resources? What can Earth’s past reveal about its future? How do environmental exposures affect health? And how can we responsibly meet society’s need for energy and natural resources?

Our impact grows through the work of faculty, students, alumni, and community partners. Together, we advance research, share knowledge, and prepare the next generation to address complex challenges. From laboratories and field sites to classrooms and community gardens, SEES puts learning into practice.

Rooted in Baylor’s commitment to service and stewardship, we seek to deepen understanding, inform decisions, and contribute to healthier communities and a more sustainable future.
