Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines physical, biological, and information sciences to study the environment and analyze the impact of human activities. This scientific discipline encompasses the study of ecosystems, biodiversity, climate change, conservation, pollution, and natural resource management. Environmental scientists use various methods and technologies to collect data, including remote sensing, bioinformatics, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to monitor and model the environment, assess trends, and formulate sustainability strategies. The goal of environmental science is not only to understand how the Earth’s systems work but also to develop practical approaches to conserving and managing natural resources in a sustainable way. This field is crucial for informing policy decisions and promoting practices that balance environmental protection with economic and societal needs, thereby addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time, such as climate change, water scarcity, and environmental degradation.
