Faculty & Research

ESE faculty work across a range of areas involving climate change, Earth system processes, multimedia transport and fate of pollutants, energy systems, and environmental technology. They collaborate with faculty members in other areas of SEAS and other departments. The research areas below are intended to help potential students identify faculty members with shared research interests.

Prospective Ph.D. students looking for a primary research advisor may consider any of our faculty members in ESE.  Faculty members listed on this page as “Affiliates” have other primary appointments at Harvard.  These affiliated faculty members can serve on advisory committees, and can co-advise a Ph.D. student with another ESE faculty member, but cannot serve as the primary research advisor.
