环境地球科学研究我们生活和工作的景观和气候
Environmental Earth Sciences studies the landscapes and climates in which we live and work, the rocks we mine and how they are used, the soils we cultivate and the effects of natural and human-induced change upon them. You will learn the effects of human activities upon near-surface environments including how we obtain and maintain our water resources, the movement and fate of toxic substances in the environment and how waste treatment and disposal affect natural, urbanized and agricultural ecosystems. You will learn how to use and interpret the results of technologies involved with geomatics (remotely-sensed images, Geographic Information Systems, cartography) and the principles of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).
