EVS improves predictions and measurements of the ecological effects of human development and advances new and better strategies that preserve and protect our natural resources.
As alternative energy technologies such as wind, solar, and geothermal become increasingly important, EVS research enhances our understanding of the environmental impacts of these technologies through life cycle analyses.
Protecting human health and the environment from the harmful effects of energy production and hazardous waste is a global challenge that EVS addresses through modeling and assessments to characterize and manage risks.
Our scientists prepare environmental impact statements to help the nation create a framework for developing renewable energy capabilities on public lands.
