Sustainability Themes cut across all specializations—and give students and partners a chance to dig deeper in a particular area of impact and interest. There are also many examples of how our teaching, research and engagement span several themes, which we call cross-cutting. 

Tackling global challenges in more holistic and effective ways

Water is fundamental to Cities + Mobility + Built Environment, as are Food Systems. Similarly, Conservation + Restoration is greatly impacted by issues of Climate + Energy. Embracing the understanding of ecosystems—throughout the natural world and its inhabitants—allows us to tackle environmental challenges more effectively. 

That's the SEAS approach.
