The Environmental Center, a unit of Water Resources
Research Center, coordinates the education, research, and service
efforts of the University relating to the maintenance, protection, and
improvement of the environmental quality in Hawai‘i and the adjacent
marine environment. It is a conduit for the transfer of
interdisciplinary academic and research expertise in environmental
matters from the University to the government, with a particular regard
for public review processes established within the state’s
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) laws. Its research program is
highly interdisciplinary and focuses on issues of particular importance
to improving environmental management decisions in the Pacific. The
center works closely with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as
well as other federal and state agencies in Hawai‘i on many of its
research contracts. For information on the environmental studies major
or certificate program, see the “Colleges of Arts and Sciences”
