Environmental Science
Environmental science uses basic knowledge of the physical, chemical, biological, and quantitative aspects of natural systems. The knowledge of how these systems work is applied to solving problems largely created by human activities. Often these problems are represented by human-caused problems in the functioning of the natural systems that support society’s life-support systems, such as air, water, soil and climate. The scale of disturbance ranges between molecular and cellular to individuals, populations, ecosystems, regional and global levels.
