Environmental Science

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the interactions between the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment and human activities. It integrates knowledge from disciplines such as ecology, chemistry, geology, atmospheric science and social sciences to understand environmental processes and impacts. Environmental science addresses issues including pollution, resource management, biodiversity, climate change and sustainability.
