Sign in to saveAlso known as green science, environmental sciences
interdisciplinary field that studies human interaction with the environment
Environmental science is a field that brings together knowledge from different disciplines to understand how humans interact with the natural world. It matters because these interactions—like pollution, resource use, and climate change—have major effects on ecosystems and human health, making this knowledge essential for solving environmental problems.

Encyclopedic overview
Environement - Tropical environment
Environmental science is an academic field that integrates the physical, biological, and mathematical sciences to study the environment and solve environmental problems. It uses an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to analyze environmental systems and emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment. It is considered interdisciplinary because it is an integration of various fields such as: biology, chemistry, physics, geology, engineering, sociology, and ecology.
