Earth Science
The Earth Sciences Division of the ARO seeks to advance understanding of the terrestrial environment for the U.S. Army with special emphasis on Earth Materials and Processes and Environmental Chemistry. Research supported by the Division seeks to explore the properties of Earth materials and chemical species to discover how they interact with their environments and respond to external forces.
