Ohio State's Environmental History Initiative brings scholars across disciplines to explore how the complex relationships between people, environments, technology, science, and health have shaped one another over time. By uncovering the roots of today’s environmental, climate, health, and technological challenges, environmental history offers valuable perspectives for understanding and addressing the issues that define our world.
