Ecology - Princeton University

Ecology from Princeton University is a Campus Bachelor Ecology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Research in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) in ecology spans the spectrum from the highly theoretical to the applied; indeed, most faculty span this spectrum in their own work. Global change, declining biodiversity and the goal of achieving sustainability in our use of natural resources motivate much of this work, leading to major efforts to study the responses of ecological systems to climate change, reserve design and related issues in conservation biology, disease management, and the valuation of ecosystem services and other problems in environmental economics. It also leads naturally to deep partnerships with other disciplines, from geophysical fluid dynamics to biogeochemistry, from molecular biology to psychology, from engineering to economics, politics and the humanities. A fundamental integrating theme of all the work in ecology is evolutionary theory, and the goal of building a theory of ecological systems, from organisms to the biosphere, that spans ecological and evolutionary dimensions. Mathematical and computational methods play a central role, and EEB is a fundamental partner in Princeton's Program in Quantitative and Computational Biology.
