Environmental sciences is a vast and multidisciplinary science that involves the study of natural resources of land, water, and air. Introduction to Environmental Sciences comprehensively covers numerous aspects of this vast subject. While some chapters focus the causes of environmental problems, others discuss methods and ways of mitigating these causes.

Introduction to Environmental Studies: Interdisciplinary Readings provides students with a carefully selected collection of articles that help them navigate the most important topics in environmental studies, focusing on different connections between humans and the environment. The anthology emphasizes voices outside the white, male canon to provide students with diverse perspectives and a broader understanding of contemporary issues within the discipline. Opening chapters introduce environmental studies, sustainability, and the connection between humans and the resources we extract from the environment. Subsequent chapters examine the history of environmentalism in North America, how our relationship to the environment has evolved over time, a concise survey of key environmental processes, and issues related to climate change and our climate crisis. Students read about the environmental impact of our food production processes on different countries and groups of people; issues related to environmental justice; the ways in which human population affects the environmental sustainability of our future; and sustainable energy issues. The anthology's final chapters address environmental legislation and policies; ethical issues around consumption and collective responsibility; and the future of our environment. Featuring compelling and timely readings, Introduction to Environmental Studies is an ideal resource for courses within the discipline.

This book teaches mathematical structures and how they can be applied in environmental science. Each chapter presents story problems with an emphasis on derivation. For each of these, the discussion follows the pattern of first presenting an example of a type of structure as applied to environmental science. The definition of the structure is presented, followed by additional examples using MATLAB, and analytic methods of solving and learning from the structure.

International experts provide a comprehensive picture of the principles, concepts and methods that are applicable to problems originating from the interaction between the living/non-living environment and mankind. Both the analysis of such problems and the way solutions to environmental problems may work in specific societal contexts are addressed. Disciplinary approaches are discussed but there is a focus on multi- and interdisciplinary methods. A large number of practical examples and case studies are presented. There is special emphasis on modelling and integrated assessment. This book is different because it stresses the societal, cultural and historical dimensions of environmental problems. The main objective is to improve the ability to analyse and conceptualise environmental problems in context and to make readers aware of the value and scope of different methods. Ideal as a course text for students, this book will also be of interest to researchers and consultants in the environmental sciences.

The overarching goal of this book is to instill a sense of environmental responsibility that will motivate students to take action at the individual level in order to preserve the world in which they live. Researching the environment's condition is important for three main reasons. Because it is basically the application of the scientific techniques and ideas to study of environmental challenges, environmental science has undoubtedly been around in some form since the dawn of science. Ecology, Environmental Studies, Environmental Education, and Environmental Engineering are just a few of the subjects that are sometimes mistaken with Environmental Science. The area of environmental science is all-encompassing and not limited to any one discipline. Although ecology may be a part of environmental science, it is not the same discipline. Interactions between organisms and their environments are of particular interest to ecologists. The majority of ecological studies and education do not concentrate on environmental problems until and until they have an impact on the organism under study. Organisms may or may not be considered while doing research by environmental scientists. The environmental problem, which may be essentially physical in origin, is the main focus. For instance, the impact of acid deposition on organisms may be examined apart from its role as an emissions problem and atmospheric feature.
