Environmental Scientists
Environmental scientists work within a multidisciplinary area of scientific investigation. Their purview cuts across the physical, chemical, biological, health, ecological, engineering, economic and social sciences. As integrative scientists, they focus on the scientific bases for identifying environmental challenges and opportunities, and for mitigating or solving environmental problems, impacts, or issues.
