Page "Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory" Paragraph 25

The Department of Earth and Environmental Science ( DEES ) is the educational arm of Columbia University located on the Lamont – Doherty campus to train graduate and undergraduate students enrolled at the university and at Barnard College.

The Lamont – Doherty office of DEES primarily supports the department's graduate program, though many undergraduate students take classes and conduct research at the Observatory.

At any given time, between 80 and 90 Ph. D. students are working towards degrees in specialties that include aqueous geochemistry, atmospheric science, climate science, ecophysiology, geology, paleoclimatology, paleontology, physical oceanography, solid earth geophysics, and solid earth geochemistry.

Specific programs at Lamont – Doherty are conducted with many education-affiliates at Columbia and elsewhere in the New York metro area.
