Earth System Science & Engineerig (ESSE) ESSE is a joint program between AOSS and the Department of Geological Sciences because of the interconnectivity between the areas of study. As an ESSE student, you'll begin to understand the interactions among all Earth system components while gaining in-depth knowledge in one of three concentrations: Climate Physics, Meteorology or Space Weather.As a College of Engineering student, with the required 128 credits, you'll earn a BSE in Earth System Science & Engineering.
You'll learn with faculty who continually push the science, recognizing that the Earth, the planets and the solar system don't exist in isolation. | ![]() | ||||||||||||||||
How do the parts of the whole affect each other? Do solar flares from the Sun have an impact on global warming? How do our activities affect both the Earth's physical and social systems? How do we measure these changes? These and other questions are explored everyday by faculty and ESSE students. The proud history of the disciplines has yielded a department honored for its work and ready to educate new generations of scientists and engineers prepared for the future in the University of Michigan tradition: The Leaders and the Best.
