Earth System Science (ESYS) concentrates on the links between the Earth's biological, chemical, physical and human subsystems. It examines the cycling of energy and matter through the biosphere, the atmosphere, the cryosphere, the hydrosphere and the solid Earth.

This integrated and holistic approach is needed to tackle the complex and challenging global problems facing the Earth. It draws upon expertise from disciplines like ecology, environment, geography, geology, meteorology and oceanography.

McGill's ESYS program will equip you with the skills and knowledge to address six "Grand Challenges" fundamental to our understanding of how the Earth operates. These are:
  • Global biogeochemical cycles
  • Climate Variability and Change
  • Land use and land cover change
  • Energy and resources
  • Earth hazards, such as volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes
  • Earth-atmosphere observation, analysis and prediction.
