New to Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh is a city where nature, innovation and culture intersect, making it a uniquely inspiring place to call home, especially for those passionate about geology & environmental science. Nestled at the confluence of three rivers and surrounded by a diverse landscape of forests, hills, and waterways, Pittsburgh offers a living laboratory for studying ecosystems, urban sustainability, and climate resilience.
Once defined by heavy industry, Pittsburgh has become a model for environmental revitalization and climate resilience, blending innovative research with community-driven restoration efforts. Equally inspiring is the city’s vibrant cultural scene—home to world-class museums, music, theater, and a thriving local food and arts community—that reflects the same spirit of transformation and creativity found in its environmental progress.
This dynamic blend of natural beauty, scientific opportunity, and cultural richness is why we love to call Pittsburgh home. See for yourself, visit some of the links below to gain a better understanding of what sets Pittsburgh apart.
