The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) is a multi-university scientific research center within the University System of Maryland dedicated to environmental science, estuarine studies, and marine science.
Its origins are found in a 1925 research station on Solomons Island. In 1973 it became the Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies and in 1997 it assumed its current name.
The center focuses on environmental research and education in Maryland, United States, with special attention to problems of the Chesapeake Bay,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and includes climate research.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Research programs are undertaken across the US and globally.
