Research includes issues in applied science as well as engineering, technology and management issues of environmental and resource-related problems in Denmark, Europe and internationally. The department hosts about 150 persons. 50 are professors and researchers and about 35 are Ph.D. students. The department teaches students form all over the world in all aspect of environmental science, engineering and technology.
