"Our scientists must become skilled communicators and willing to engage anyone"

[environmentalscienceanddis]

Environmental science is the academic field that takes physical,
biological and chemical sciences to study the environment and discover solutions to environmental problems. Sciences used in environmental science include geography, zoology, physics, ecology, oceanology, and geology. Environmental science also branches out into environmental studies and environmental engineering. It provides an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental problems.

I'm interested in this major because I love biology and want to solve problems like water pollution and excess waste, but I'm concerned about not being able to find a job that pays decent (at least 60k).

[taylordossetor]

Wow, seriously so inspirational. I'm currently 16 chic still in high school and I really want to go into environmental science and communications in that area. It's always hard finding advice about this kind of thing as my views and interests often differ considerably from my private school peers and teachers who are very much interested in becoming doctors, lawyers and earning a ton of cash. Thanks for your video it's actually been a huge help to me so thanks - if you have any more videos on this kind of thing could you please link them to me? Thanks again

I have BS Biology, major in Genetics and MS Genetics, minor in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology degrees. And I plan on taking Environmental Science for my PhD, with cognates in MBB and Plant Genetic Resources. I am so happy I found your TEDXTALK. I am currently researching on possible thesis topics for my proposal

[gontsemotau]

currently studying environmental science..Excited!

[trevorkohne]

Studying Environmental geology at Michigan State. Very proud to be apart of this field!

[green_goose]

This was very helpful and interesting! I'm going into my junior year of high school and so far environmental science seems like a promising field to go into after graduation. I love biology and science as a whole, and Im very interested in helping the environment, so I think this would be a good subject to study. I'm thinking about being an environmental scientist one day, but I'm not sure what other environmental science careers there are?

[kellikall]

I'll soon begin to study my bachelors in environmental science and I've always seen myself becoming a scientist. But living in "poverty" in all those years is such a scary thought, especially when you think about how expensive living in the city I'm living in is.. Ugh how will I manage to survive!

[talus]

Thank you for this great piece! I’m currently a soil science major but I’m switching my major to environmental science, policy, management, and computer science.

[misrakgashaw]

Wow, this is inspirational.And I wish to became a student at CEU as I applied for 24/25 entry of Environmental science and policy.

[LKxxROXSTAR]

that last part is very important, about making even the thought of considering environmental science not a liberal topic but a nonpartisan truth-based issue...this is gonna be hard (though that doesn't mean we have to stop trying) because apparently some studies show that the more information you give the less some people believe...also about the part about the Silicon Valley-esque fervor for finding solutions. We all need to know that we need the integrity of the natural world for our wellbeing the same way we need our iPhones!!

[austindeering]

Love this! The future of of environmental science is bright. New techniques and technology will bring to life numerous ways to solve some of the world's biggest problems.

[usimyentonox]

Wow, I am currently considering environmental science

[BantamJJ]

Thank you for your honesty. Great talk!

[dimsummo]

This is amazing! Thank you so much ! May God bless

Corporate America had rather build a space ship and go live on Mars than spend money fixing this planet!

[thpilot]

First thing is always make sure you support the narrative of the company or Government that sponsors you. Facts are irrelevant to the pay check

[olivermoore]

The US must have quite a different system from Europe.
Here in the UK, a BSc (undergrad) is always 3 years, an MSc (masters) is usually 1 year and a PhD is usually 3-4 years.

[jensonsamraj]

What are the jobs after environmental science except clearing ugc exams. Could you suggest please?
