Why NRES?
Environmental problems don't wait. We train students to observe, think, analyze, and act.
Eastern Taiwan is one of the best classrooms in the world for studying how people and nature coexist under pressure. Interdisciplinary thinking and hands-on local engagement are at the heart of everything we do.

Earth Sciences
The geoscience behind sound environmental decisions
From hydrogeology and geochemistry to disaster monitoring, our faculty investigate how Earth systems change over time — producing the data that environmental planning and risk management depend on.
Ecology and Conservation
Long-term science for Taiwan's biodiversity
Our faculty work across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, combining field monitoring with habitat restoration research to develop conservation governance strategies grounded in evidence.
Environmental Education and Ecotourism
Bringing knowledge into communities, and nature into daily life
From environmental learning centers to sustainability education and ecotourism planning, our faculty design programs that help people build lasting, meaningful relationships with the natural world.
