Environmental Geology

Environmental geology is the study of how geological processes and materials affect the environment and human activities. It examines issues like land use, pollution, resource management, and natural hazards, using tools from geology and geophysics to understand the Earth's subsurface. This field helps assess the impact of human actions on the Earth, guides sustainable development, and addresses environmental challenges such as groundwater contamination and soil erosion. By integrating geological knowledge with environmental science, professionals can make informed decisions to protect ecosystems and promote public safety.
