EARTH Systems Laboratory
College of Humanities and Social Sciences|College Programs, Organizations and Projects
An interdisciplinary lab that brings together Earth Science, Geography, and Anthropology to educate and prepare Minnesota State University, Mankato students for future careers in academia, private business, or in government agencies. Students are immersed in scientific and applied research to obtain hands-on, experiential learning to better understand natural processes in the world around us and the impact these natural processes have on human beings through both modern and ancient timescales. We conduct research focused on archeology, soils, climate/paleoclimate and climatic change, erosional-earth surface processes, geomorphology, natural resources, natural hazards, and human-environment interactions.
What is EARTH Systems Lab?
The EARTH Systems Lab is an interdisciplinary partnership between faculty in Earth Science, Archeology, and Physical Geography that serves as a hub for educating students for the future through innovative and collaborative scientific research with regional, national, and global impacts.
