Welcome
SFU's Environmental Science program started over 25 years ago and became the School of Environmental Science in 2019 to address the growing global demand for Environmental Scientists. Our School Faculty have expertise in the fields of geomorphology, ecology, fluvial geomorphology, river dynamics, paleoclimatology, soil science, environmental modelling, climate change, and arctic environments. EVSC's environmental science program was listed as a standout program in Maclean's 2024 University Rankings. Our Environmental Science Student Union was established twenty-three years ago, providing an inclusive, safe, and fun space for environmental science students to collaborate and support one another, as well as providing students with administrative and research opportunities within the School.
The School of Environmental Science strives to train the next generation of scientists to tackle environmental problems - we believe we can shape a better future, and so can you!
Statement on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
The SFU School of Environmental Science commits to working toward the creation of a diverse, equitable, inclusive and anti-racist community that is broadly representative of environmental scholars. We pledge to foster a learning environment where all feel safe in sharing their thoughts, ideas and perspectives, as scientists and individuals. We pledge to promote constructive and respectful dialogue about nature, and the human relationship with nature, through our collective science and involvement with community-led efforts and initiatives. We are privileged to pursue our vision while working on the unceded, traditional territories of the sḵwx̱wú7mesh [Squamish], šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ [Musqueam], səlilwətaɬ [Tsleil-Waututh], sq̓əc̓iy̓aɁɬ təməxʷ [Katzie] and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm [Kwikwetlem] First Nations.
