Page 1: Introduction to Environmental Science
Environmental science studies interactions between humans and the natural
environment. It integrates principles from biology, chemistry, physics, geology,
and sociology to address environmental challenges.
Page 2: Ecosystems and Biodiversity
Ecosystems are complex networks of organisms and their environment. Topics
include biodiversity, ecological interactions (predation, competition), nutrient
cycles, and ecosystem services.
Page 3: Natural Resources and Sustainability
Natural resources (water, air, minerals) support human needs and economic
activities. Sustainability principles aim to manage resources responsibly for
present and future generations. Topics include renewable and non-renewable
resources, conservation, and environmental economics.
Page 4: Pollution and Climate Change
Pollution (air, water, soil) and climate change are global environmental issues.
Topics include causes and effects of pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, global
warming, mitigation strategies, and adaptation to climate impacts.
Page 5: Environmental Policy and Ethics
Environmental policies aim to address environmental problems through
regulations, incentives, and international agreements. Topics include
environmental laws, environmental ethics, sustainable development goals
(SDGs), and the role of activism and advocacy.
