ES Senior Thesis Projects
Four Decades of Environmental Research
This page contains links to the titles of all projects conducted by ES students since 1972. Full projects (in pdf format) are available for approximately the last decade. Older projects have titles only, but projects are archived at the Biosciences Library at the University of California, Berkeley or can be accessed by contacting the current instructors. In the early years of the course, all students studied aspects of the same system (a theme for the year), but in later years the course shifted more towards having students develop their own projects in their subject area of interst and work with additional assistance from mentors such as faculty members, graduate students, as well as mentors from local community, NGOs, or government organizations.
