The document discusses the multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies. It notes that most environmental issues involve interactions between the physical/natural environment and social/economic factors. It also outlines the three main environmental compartments - atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere - and describes the biosphere as the relatively thin layer where millions of living species interact in complex ecological relationships. The document argues that while natural processes can upset this equilibrium, human activities like overpopulation, industrialization, urbanization, and increasing consumption are now the primary causes of imbalance. It concludes that solving environmental problems requires considering the links between science, technology, and social sciences.
Multidisciplinary nature of environmental studiesSarthakKedia1
Environmental studies is called as a topic which is multidisciplinary in nature as it includes studies of multiple topics in order to understand it in a much more better end more explained and detailed manner.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY NATURE OF ENVIRONMENTNisha Kalayil
The multidisciplinary nature of environmental studies
1. Natural Resources
2. Renewable and non-renewable resources:
3. Natural resources and associated problems
a) Forest resources;
b) Water resources;
c) Mineral resources;
d) Food resources;
e) Energy resources;
f) Land resources
4. Role of an individual in conservation of natural resources.
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. Importance of Environmental Science Environment belongs to all the living beings and thus is, important for all.
Each and every body of whatever occupation he or she may have, is affected by environmental issues like global warming, depletion of ozone layer, dwindling forest, energy resources, loss of global biodiversity etc.
Environment study deals with the analysis of the processes in water, air, land, soil and organisms which leads to pollute or degrade environment. It helps us for establishing standard,Environment and Ecology for safe, clean and healthy natural ecosystem.
It also deals with important issues like safe and clean drinking water, hygienic living conditions and clean and fresh air, fertility of land, healthy food and development. Sustainable environmental law, business administration, environmental protection, management and environmental engineering are immerging as new career opportunities for environment protection and managements.
Need for Public Awareness With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves.
To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects. The United Nations conference on Environment and Development held in Rio-de-Janeiro, followed by Earth summit on sustainable Development have high-lighted the key issues of global environmental concern and have attracted the general public towards the...

Environmental studies is a multidisciplinary research discipline that studies human interaction with the environment systematically. In order to solve specific contemporary environmental problems, environmental studies incorporates concepts from the physical sciences, trade / economics, arts , and social sciences.

Introduction to environment and environmental studiesSURYAKANTVERMA2
“Environmental studies” is the scientific study of our environment and our place in it.
Definition: “Environmental studies” is the study of environmental issues.
It has broader coverage than environmental science and includes social aspects of environment also.
Environmental studies deals with every aspect that affect the living organism.
It is essentially a multidisciplinary approach that brings about an appreciation of our nature world and human impact its integrity.
Environment is a aggregate of physical, chemical, biological and social component on earth which are capable of causing direct or indirect effect in a short or long term on living or non living things and their interactions and activity.
The scope of studying environmental aspects is extremely wide and covers several crucial aspects of almost all disciplines.
The survival of any organism requires a steady supply of food and other materials and removal of waste products from its environment. The degradation of the environment is becoming a serious problem for the existence of human beings and other life. Pollution of soil, water and air causes harm to living organisms as well as loss to valuable natural resources. Several important aspects are studied under the field called as Environmental Studies.
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.
Education is a process of development which includes the three major
activities, teaching, training and instruction. Teaching is social as well as
a professional activity. It is science as well as art. Modern education is not
in a sphere but it has a long and large area of study. Now a days most part
of the world population is facing different problems related with the nature
and they are studying the solutions to save the nature and global problems,
but on the second hand we even today do not try to understand our local
problems related to the nature. So for the awareness of the problems of
nature and pollution the higher education commission has suggested to
add the Environmental Science in the course of different levels.
Environmental Science is also well known as Environmental Studies in
the Indian Colleges and Universities. Before that it was the part of the
science but now a days it is a very common subject and higher education
commission has suggested including it as a general paper in all the courses.

This slide will guide other researchers that wants to collect data using Interview method. It teaches how to analyse the data as well. This was a presentation that was carried out in our research method class by our group.
General Botany Group four presentation.
This presentation focus on so many biological related topics. It primarily focus on conservation of life in any biodiversity.
Main contents:
3.1. Relationship characteristics
3.2. Evolution of relationships
3.2.1. Human in nature
3.2.2. Human against nature
3.3. Social development and environment
3.4. Human, energy and environment
3.5. Relationships between population, consumption rate, technology and environmental problems
4. Importance of Environment
• Types of Environment:
• Physical / Natural
• Social / Political / Economic
• Most environmental issues primarily focus
on Physical & Natural environment
5. Significance of Biosphere
• 3 Environmental compartments
• Atmosphere
• Hydrosphere
• Lithosphere
• Biosphere – Living species
• Relatively thin layer shared by millions of species
• Natural biodiversity
• Interdependence of species
• Delicate equilibrium
• Divided into ecosystems
6. Upsets in the equilibrium results in adverse impacts on
the ecosystems
Causes for upsets : Natural ---- Volcanos, landslides
Matter of concern -- Anthropogenic ( manmade)
Human beings are the most dominant species on earth
Try to dominate nature and modify nature for its benefit
e.g. Basic human need - Food - Agriculture
Cloth -- Synthetics
Shelter - Building materials
7. Real Problem : Over population, industrialization
and urbanization Increasing
consumptive lifestyle
Paradigm of sustainable development
Human Beings two-way interaction
Environment
All resources obtained from environment, wastes
discharged into environment
Environment uses the wastes to recycle them
into resources - Biogeochemical cycles
8. Natural processes are slow Human activities fast
Difference in rates leads to accumulation of
wastes and causes adverse impacts
Solutions for environmental problems are also
engineered by manmade processes (waste
treatment) --- but at a cost!!!!!!
It is here that most issues become problems
The multidisciplinary nature of environment
become evident
Links between science & technology with social
sciences
9. Case study 1
• Thermal power plant using coal :
– Mining of coal
– Transportation
– Combustion
– Electricity generation, transmission
– Employment generation
– Infrastructure development
– Land degradation, displacement
– Loss of biodiversity
– RM & product pricing
10. Conclusions
• Environmental studies involves complex
interactions between several disciplines
• No simple solutions
• Careful evaluation of positive and negative
impacts of activities on environment will
help in developing optimal strategies and
lead to sustainable development
