Master of Science [M.S] [Environmental Engineering] From Vanderbilt University

Our goal is to prepare Vanderbilt graduate students with the academic knowledge, research acumen, communications skills and leadership experiences to tackle environmental challenges such as:

• Alternative approaches to leaching and contaminant release mechanisms
• Bioavailability and biological processes that affect contaminant fate and transport
• Environmental restoration of legacy nuclear and hazardous waste sites
• Environmental security and vulnerability analysis
• Long-term sustainable environmental protection
• Multi-scale and multi-media contaminant fate and transport in the subsurface
• Reliability and security of environmental protection systems
• Risk assessment and risk-informed decision making
• Assessment of modern environmental change in the ocntext of the record of past variability
• Present and predicated future vulnerability of coastal environments
• Magmatic processes that underlie volcanic hazards
• Predicting landscape evolution in a changing environment
