While the Environmental Studies Program is located within the Department of Geological Sciences and Environmental Studies, it is an independent program and is overseen and controlled by the Environmental Studies Committee. The committee is comprised of professors from a variety of academic disciplines, which makes the program very comprehensive. The core members of the committee and their disciplines and teaching responsibilities are:
