The High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI) is home to numerous interdisciplinary efforts that inspire and augment environmental research carried out at Princeton and institutions worldwide. HMEI leads large-scale, long-term Research Centers in which academic and industry partners across the nation and around the world focus on singular, yet multi-faceted, environmental challenges. Research Initiatives based at HMEI consist of collaborative efforts in which Princeton faculty members in multiple disciplines work on emerging environmental themes. Research-related Programs include an explicit educational component that explores pressing environmental issues while providing hands-on experience to future environmental scientists and scholars in the sciences, environmental humanities, and engineering.
Collectively, HMEI faculty and researchers conduct work relevant to a number of critical environmental topics and issues — browse our people directory by Research Area.
