The multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies and natural resources Maitry Agrawal
The multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies and natural resources presentation will help you in knowing the actual meaning of environmental studies and it's scope and importance in layman's language. we will be also discussing about natural resources, types, individual's role in conservation of natural resources and sustainability.
ENVIRONMENT
Definition: Environment literally means surrounding and everything that affect an organism
during its lifetime is collectively known as its environment.
In another words “Environment is sum total of water, air and land interrelationships
among themselves and also with the human being, other living organisms and property”.
It includes all the physical and biological surrounding and their interactions.
Environmental studies provide an approach towards understanding the environment of our
planet and the impact of human life upon the environment. Thus environment is actually
global in nature, it is a multidisciplinary subject including physics, geology, geography, history,
economics, physiology, biotechnology, remote sensing, geophysics, soil science and hydrology
etc.
Scope of Environmental Science
Environmental science is a multidisciplinary science whose basic aspects have a direct relevance
to every section of the society. Its main aspects are:
• Conservation of nature and natural resources.
• Conservation of biological diversity.
• Control of environmental pollution.
• Stabilization of human population and environment.
• Social issues in relation to development and environment.
• Development of non-polluting renewable energy system and providing new
dimension to nation’s security.Ecosystem
According to A.G. Tansley (1935), “An ecosystem is the ecological unit consisting of biotic factors
(living) and abiotic factors (non-living) in a specific area. For example forest, grassland, desert,
aquatic etc.
Balanced Ecosystem: All ecosystems, even the ultimate biosphere are open systems.
There is necessarily at least an inflow and outflow of energy. Balance of ecosystem means
balance of autotrophs and heterotrophs in an ecosystem, to maintain an even distribution of
sustainable energy through food chain without any external interference. Any disturbance in
autotrophic-heterotrophic balance leads to ecosystem imbalance, more the imbalance more
externals are required to balance. Bigger the ecosystems lesser is the imbalance. Balance infact
designates to greater primary producers than consumer.
Stability of Ecosystem: An ecosystem which has attained maturity is by and large is a
very stable system. It is controlled by feedback mechanic who may be either positive or
negative.
Structure and Function of an Ecosystem
An ecosystem has two types of components—
1. Abiotic
2. Biotic.
1. Abiotic component includes—
(A) Physical
(1) Sunlight (for photosynthesis)
(2) Water (essential for living beings)
(3) Temperature (necessary to get survive)
(4) Soil (provide base and nutrients)
(B) Chemical
(1) Proteins
(2) Carbohydrates
(3) Fats
(4) Minerals etc.
2. Biotic component
(1) Producers/Autotrophs
(2) Consumer/heterotrophs
(3) Decomposers
Producers: They are chlorophyll bearing, self nourishing organisms, which prepare
organic compounds from inorganic raw materials, through the processes of photosynthesis e.g.
all green plants.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

• Relationship Between Different
Components of Environment.
• Man – Environment Relationship.
• Impact of Technology on Environment.
• Environmental Degradation.
• Multidisciplinary Nature of
Environmental studies, its Scope And
Impact.
3. Relationship Between Different
Components of Environment.
ENVIRONMENT
BIOTIC ABIOTIC
Biotic environment is made up
of all living organisms (plants,
animals & microorganisms)
include their reaction, inter-
reaction and interrelated
actions.
Abiotic environment or physical
environment is composed of
external factors like
temperature, humidity, water,
soil, minerals, gases etc. It
provides both habitation and
raw materials for the synthesis
of organic food.
4. • Interaction between Abiotic and Biotic
Components
All living organisms depend upon their
environment for survival essentials:
1) food
2) shelter
3) breeding site.
5. Continue..
• These biotic and abiotic components are in
dynamic state i.e. they constantly affect each
other and cannot be isolated from each other.
6. Man – Environment Relationship
• Relationship between man and environment
has variation. This relationship varies from
time to time and place to place.
• For example.. In the past human being was
afraid of lighting and thunder, dense forest,
major river and wild animal.
• But now human being is interacting with each
of them.
Variation
Time Space
7. Relief of land :
Factors : ….
Relief of land
Climate
Soil
Minerals
Water
• In Himalayas due to steep
slop agriculture is done with
great difficulties ,industries
establishment also. So this
place are having very less
economy activities.
• Therefore very less
population.
Climate :
• Most of the area of the
earth are having population
density <2 person/km² due
to unfavorable climate.
• Ex. North Canada, Alaska,
Hot Sharah Desert.
8. Soil :
• Fertile soil will attract
very dense population.
Water :
• Earlier settlement and
civilization was well
developed on the bank
of major rivers.
Ex. Nile, Ganga river.
• Adequate water supply
provides irrigation
facilities and there by
food production is more.
Minerals :
• The presence of coal,
gold, iron, steel, in any
area will attract high
population.
• Ex. Jharkhand in India.
• Gold mines in Australia.
9. Impact Of Technology On Environment
Negative Impact
• New technology
Industrialization
Urbanization RAPID
EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES.
• Innovation of engines
Automobile
Consumption of fossil fuel
Pollution (air).
Positive Impact
• We have technologies to
purify polluted water using
RO system, Aqua guard,..
• We have destroyed forest
but we have technologies to
grow fast growing trees.
10. Continue…
• Invention of Sawing
machine Deforestation.
• Fertilizers and Pesticides
Increase in food production
Pollution of land.
• Recycling technologies
recycling of paper, plastic
etc..
• Technologies to conserve
AIR, WATER, LAND, ETC..
11. Environmental Degradation
• It refers to the damage caused to the
environment due to both natural and human
events.
• The overall lowering of environmental
qualities due to the damage caused by both
natural and human activities in the basic
structure of environment at local, regional and
global levels adversely affecting all living
organisms including man.
13. • Water Degradation : Degradation in the
quality of water is a major & world wide
problem.
Source : 1. Point source.
2. Non point source.
• Land Degradation : Land degradation is a
process in which the value of the biophysical
environment is affected by combination of
human-induced processes acting upon the
land.
14. • Air Degradation : W.H.O has stated Delhi and
Kolkata as highly polluted megacities for air
qualities. It is due to deforestation,
industrialization and urbanization.
• Forest Degradation : In India in 1980’s forest
cover was about 40% and now it is just 17-18
%..
15. Multidisciplinary Nature of Environmental
Studies, Its Scope And Impact
• Environmental studies can be useful to various
disciplines :
1. Environmental studies for Engineers : By
studying ES engineers can find the
sustainable solutions for different global and
local environmental problems.
2. Environmental studies for Ecologist : By
studying interrelationship between different
Biotic and Abiotic components of ecosystem.
16. Continue…
3. Environmental studies for Hydrologist : By
studying these course the Hydrologist can
study the quality of land water and aquatic
water.
