Environmental Science
ENVIRONMENT. ECOSYSTEMS. BIODIVERSITY.
Welcome to the Environmental Science program
The environmental sciences focus on understanding the Earth鈥檚 natural systems and how we, as humans, interact with them.
Environmental scientists study the impact of human interactions on the biosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere using an interdisciplinary and integrative approach. They provide us with the information we need to address some of the most pressing issues facing humanity today 鈥 such as climate change and the loss of biodiversity.
