Honors Research

Earth Systems engages students with social-environmental questions using interdisciplinary knowledge, tools, and frame works drawn from the natural sciences, economics, anthropology, ethics, and public policy. The program embraces this kind of interdisciplinary approach in recognition of social-environmental challenges as complex phenomena emerging from human activities interacting with Earth’s physical, chemical, geological, and biological systems. You may view honors research theses through the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR).
