M.phil Environmental Science and Policy

Environmental science is a culmination of scientific fields, integrating physics, biology, geology, chemistry, meteorology, and oceanography all in order to study the interactions between the physical, chemical, and biological components that make up ecosystems. Environmental science should not be confused with environmentalism which is a social movement. Though environmental science has the intention of studying environmental systems in order to help solve environmental problems, it as a scientific discipline only intends to describe and explain the what and how related questions about natural phenomena. Whereas, environmentalism is a broad philosophy and ideological social movement which intends to enact political, legal, and social change in order to solve environmental problems.The purpose of environmental science is to understand natural phenomenon and ecosystems, and how humans interact and impact the environment. Some examples of environmental sciences include human ecology and climate change science. These are environmental sciences because they study the interactions and impacts of humans on and within their environment.
