Welcome!

The Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies (WIES) is USC's hub for environmental research, education and outreach. Our main offices are in Los Angeles on the USC University Park Campus, and we proudly oversee the research laboratories and conference facilities at the Philip K. Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island, at Big Fisherman Cove near the community of Two Harbors.

Wrigley Institute-affiliated faculty conduct research in all aspects of the environment, such as the biological adaptations to climate change, interactions among humans and natural systems, and the analysis and development of environmental policy. WIES works with foundations and the public to enhance environmental awareness.
