List of Disciplines

Environmental science encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines, including physical, chemical, and biological components. Environmental science is concerned with the effects of human activity on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as well as the development of concepts and plans for restoring these ecosystems. Environmental scientists also work with planners to design and create buildings and other modules that enhance water resources and effective land use. Environmental research is frequently undertaken in collaboration with several other interdisciplinary sciences to achieve a similar aim. Because most environmental challenges are related to human activities, economics, law, and social sciences are frequently studied alongside environmental science.

Climate change, conservation, biodiversity, water quality, soil and groundwater contamination, natural resources, waste management, development, disaster reduction, and other pollutions are all addressed by environmental science. While the environment has been studied from the beginning of science, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that it became an active mainstream scientific subject. Growing public awareness of environmental challenges and the need for action are two factors that have contributed to the advancement of environmental research to where it is today.
