Our department has 14 full-time and tenure-track faculty. We also have an additional fifteen or more associated faculty, adjunct faculty and research staff.
ESM is one of the participating departments in the newly-created School of the Environment.

At the graduate level, students can earn a Master of Science or a Masters of Environmental Management degree. Students can also earn a Certificate of Hydrology.
The Environmental Science and Management Program also participates in the Environmental Sciences and Resources interdepartmental PhD.
Environmental Programs is different than most other departments at PSU in that we also host four research centers or programs. These are the Center for Lakes and Reservoirs, the Aquatic Bioinvasions Research and Policy Institute (collaboratively with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center), the Student Watershed Research Program and the Environmental Professional Program.

Date: November 6 Speaker: Bruce Hope (OR Dept of Environmental Quality) Title “Environmental Risk Assessment in a Decision Context”
Bio: Dr. Hope is a senior environmental toxicologist in the Air Quality Division at the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). His present assignment is with the Water Quality Division on the Senate Bill 737 project, which involves the identification of persistent pollutants with respect to Oregon’s waters, and development of “trigger” levels that would initiate toxics reduction plans for these persistent pollutants. Prior to joining DEQ in 1995, he was a consultant in the private sector managing human health and ecological risk assessment projects for commercial and government clients throughout the U.S. and Pacific Rim. In 2000-01, he was on leave from DEQ as an American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) risk policy fellow in Washington DC, where he worked on food safety, microbial risk assessment, and bioterrorism issues. He has served on several U.S. Environmental Protection Agency national advisory and review panels addressing cumulative risk, wildlife, ecological and probabilistic risk assessment issues, and environmental modeling. In 2007-08, he was a member of a National Research Council committee evaluating the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s human health risk assessment practices. Dr. Hope has been an adjunct faculty member at Oregon Health & Science University (Oregon Graduate Institute & School of Nursing), Concordia University (Portland), Portland State University, and Oregon State University. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in biology (aquatic toxicology) from the University of Southern California and a B.A. degree from the University of California (Santa Barbara). |
