Ecosystem Science and Management
Shaping the Future of Land and Resource Stewardship
Integrating Four Key Disciplines
Ecosystem Science and Management (ESM) brings together rangeland ecology, hydrology, soil science, and entomology to help students understand the bigger picture. You’ll explore how ecosystems work, how people interact with natural resources, and how to solve real-world problems through hands-on learning, research, and outreach. Whether you're restoring landscapes, studying water systems, or learning to identify plants in the field, you’ll gain the knowledge and experience to make a real impact.
