Are you interested in how the Earth works?
Do you want to solve real-world problems?
If you are curious about rocks and minerals, how the earth formed, how water shapes our Earth and other geological processes, then come learn with us in the Plattsburgh State Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES).
Did You Know?
In the Center for Earth and Environmental Science, we offer four degree programs in Geology. With over 200 students and seventeen faculty members, CEES offers a great diversity of courses with small class sizes.
State-of the Art facilities
The Center provides students with access to state-of-the-art laboratory and field facilities, including:
- Remote Sensing and GIS laboratories
- The Ecosystem Studies Field laboratory at the the Altona Flatrock Pine Barrens with extensive hydrological instrumentation
- The Lake Champlain Research Institute with limnological research vessels
- Environmental Chemistry laboratories equipped for work in biogeochemistry and watershed science
Getting Involved
Student Research
Many programs limit research to graduate students. CEES provides numerous opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in faculty-mentored research projects.
Careers in Earth Science Education
Students interested in teaching High School Earth Science may complete our Adolescence Education Earth Science major. They will have to complete a Masters degree within three years of certification. Many students elect to pursue a degree in Geology followed by a Masters of Science in Teaching. The latter program can be completed in five years.
