The core group of eleven Environmental Sciences faculty is a select group of teaching and research professionals drawn from the larger campus. Chosen for their outstanding teaching skills, these dedicated men and women also engage in cutting-edge research in their respective fields. Most faculty work in both CESE and in another NAU department, providing students access to a wide variety of faculty interests and expertise.
