Duke’s Earth and Climate Sciences BS equips students with field, lab, and modeling skills to understand planet-wide change. Courses span plate tectonics, atmospheric chemistry, and remote sensing. Research cruises study Gulf Stream dynamics, while supercomputer labs run earth-system models projecting sea-level rise. Partnerships with the Nicholas School and policy think tanks let majors translate science into actionable climate solutions for governments and NGOs.
