Environmental Science

Le résumé fourni par la source

Environmental science is a wide field of research that examines all aspects of how environments develop, change, and are impacted by human activity. This includes work on the basic principles of environmental processes and change, but also applied research into policy‐relevant issues, such as climate change and pollution, as well as human–environment research into how human activity impacts on the environment and how this impact might be ameliorated. Environmental science has developed alongside the environmental movement in recent decades and, like all scientific work, it is shaped by this sociopolitical context. Drawing on different disciplines such as geology, ecology, chemistry, geography, and meteorology, it is sometimes considered multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary, although some argue it must become transdisciplinary to fully tackle the challenges of sustainability.
