Env. sciences

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences (including physics, chemistry, biology, soil science, geology, and geography) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems. While the concept of environmental science has existed for centuries, it came alive as a substantive, active field of scientific investigation in the 1960s and 1970s driven by
  1. the need for a large multi-disciplined team to analyze complex environmental problems,
  2. the arrival of substantive environmental laws requiring specific environmental protocols of investigation, and
  3. the growing public awareness of a need for action in addressing environmental problems has helped increase the visibility of environmental issues and create this new field of study.
Environmental science as a profession promises tremendous employment opportunities. Environmental science is a composite of both natural and social sciences. Areas of work in the field of Environmental Science can be categorized into..

Career opportunities in this field are immense today. The horizons in this field are widening in India as well as abroad. Waste treatment industries, refineries, distilleries, mines, fertilizer plants, food processing industries and textile mills employ environmental scientists. NGOs are growing, both in numbers and in strength. There is a great scope in these organizations. The growing concern over environmental protection has also made the industry more concious or ensuring that industrial waste and other industrial materials are not hazardous to the environment, hence creating more fresh jobs.
