Environmental Geoscience

Environmental Geoscience is the study of Earth's processes and how they affect and interact with the environment, particularly in relation to natural hazards like volcanoes. It encompasses the understanding of volcanic activity, including eruptions, ash distribution, and lava flows, and how these phenomena impact ecosystems, human health, and infrastructure. By analyzing these events, scientists can predict hazards, inform communities, and develop strategies for risk management, balancing our natural environment with societal needs. This field is vital for creating resilience against the challenges posed by geological activities.
