Historical Note

Rice University and Shell Oil Company launched the Shell Center for Sustainability (SCS) in 2002. The Center is housed in the School of Social Sciences and collaborates with other centers and institutes at Rice University. SCS works closely with schools and organizations within the campus and beyond forging multidisciplinary teams and partnerships. The SCS uses the Gulf of Mexico, the state of Texas, and the Houston and Galveston region as research models.

The Shell Center for Sustainability's mission is to foster an interdisciplinary program of research, outreach, and education to address actions that can be taken to ensure the sustainable development of communities' living standards, interpreted broadly, to encompass all factors affecting the overall quality of life.
