The earth is the planet of life. The top priority that Earth and Environmental Sciences has to solve is how to maintain the earth as a planet of life. As a part of the immense universe, the earth consists of the Atmosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Biosphere which are interacting continuously to make the earth live. A Learning related to these issues is not detached from the world, but deeply connected with our daily life.

A study that is dealing with global environmental problems is Earth and Environmental Sciences. Earth and Environmental Sciences is a part of natural science that studies component parts, circulations, and changing mechanisms of the Atmosphere, Geosphere, and the Hydrosphere; that analyzes and predicts the formation and changes of the natural environment and studies interactions and influences among these spheres and biosphere. In order to understand Earth and Environmental formation and changes, the object of Earth and Environmental Sciences offers a method to analyze, predict, and restore various scale of kinetic and material system’s formation, evolution, extinction and interaction between them. These researches are conducted by introducing an applied scientific technology that is based on an understanding of basic science.

Earth and Environmental Sciences is a synthetic study including Atmospheric Science that researches physical and chemical status and movement of the earth’s atmosphere; Earth System Science that researches the Earth’s material, formation, evolution, and energy circulation; Oceanography that researches physical circulation of oceanic material and resources. Students study each part of the Earth and Environmental Sciences intensively according to their interests. Namely, they select their curriculum track including Atmospheric Science, Earth System Science, and Oceanography.
