We seek to shape a sustainable future for Oklahoma and beyond by creating a community of interdisciplinary scholars and leaders who aim to comprehend the Earth’s human-natural systems.
Our mission is to conduct innovative and socially relevant research; to expand students’ intellectual vistas via critical perspectives and valuable tools and skills; and to catalyze sustainable human-natural systems.
The recent renovation and repairs to the Green Roof on the O'Brien Plaza have provided an opportunity to build a unique and highly anticipated Outdoor Classroom for students in Geosciences and campus visitors. These new outdoor learning spaces will help students practice mapping and bring the geological field to OU's campus. Mewbourne College has recently partnered with the Chickasaw Nation to build the Jennifer Wise Butterfly and Pollinator Garden. This space has been planted with native Oklahoma species utilized by pollinators, including monarch butterflies.
