Definición

  • The interdisciplinary field of environmental science draws on ecology, geology, meteorology, biology, chemistry, engineering, and physics in its integrated study of the environment. Typically, the quantitative approach of environmental science is considered separate from environmental studies, which emphasizes the human relationship with the environment and the social and political dimensions thereof, though both fields overlap and codevelop, and their correlating university programs frequently share faculty and other resources.
