The UNH Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) was formed in 1985 to foster an intellectual and scientific environment that advances visionary scholarship and leadership in the Earth, space, and ocean sciences.

Our scientists explore processes on the sun, solar influences on Earth and its magnetosphere, the chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere, changing climate, and large-scale ecosystems in terrestrial and marine environments — emphasizing complex impacts on and by human activities. We use satellites, aircraft, and ships to explore and investigate the most important and inaccessible places in the universe, in our solar system and on our planet. Project collaborations are local to international in scope. Our faculty can be found in the pages of Science and Nature, on Capitol HIll briefing policymakers on major science issues, and working with students on the ice sheets of Greenland, in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, and in laboratories designing and crafting precision instruments for spacecraft and analyzing data from the latest space missions.
