CUHK Earth and Environmental Sciences

Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences has a mission to address the interplay between nature and the long-term sustainability of human society using a quantitative scientific approach. Our vision is to be unique and the first of its kind in Hong Kong in integrating and synergizing the domains of Earth Science and Environmental Science, tackling future global challenges such as climate change, the food-energy-water nexus, natural hazards, ecosystem degradation, and planetary health.

地球及環境科學系旨在運用定量科學方法，探討自然界與人類社會長期可持續發展之間的相互作用。本系是香港首個將地球科學與環境科學領域整合的系所。我們的目標是應對全球挑戰，如氣候變化、糧食-能源-水的關係、自然災害、生態系統退化和全球健康等。
