College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences
Knowledge for Life on a Changing Planet
The College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences is recognized worldwide for its research in Earth systems: the interplay of ocean, atmosphere, land, and biosphere. In addition to making critical discoveries about issues like climate change, the college emphasizes social impact: equipping policy makers, industry leaders, and other stakeholders with science-based information that allows them to make better decisions.
Through The Campaign for OSU the college will extend its ability to produce knowledge and graduates that will help us respond to the challenges of a dynamic and changing planet.
