  1. Hello, everyone.
  2. This is section 1.1, understanding our environment, just part off
  3. science and environmental sciences.
  4. Let's go over the first thing, which is defining the
  5. environmental science and compare it with ecology.
  6. When someone mentions the term environment, some people think off
  7. a beautiful scene, such as a stream flowing through a
  8. water nous area or a rainforest canopy alive with blooming
  9. flowers on dhe holing monkeys.
  10. You might not think off your backyard or neighborhoods as
  11. a part of the environment.
  12. In fact, the environment is everything around us.
  13. It includes the natural world as well as things produced
  14. by unions.
  15. But the environment is also more than what we think
  16. or what we see.
  17. It's a complex were off relationship that connects off with
  18. the world we live in.
  19. Let's see what information about the goals.
  20. So it includes the study off the impact of a
  21. human on the environment and also the studying off air
  22. water, a man, seragen, an organism or a community which
  23. ranges from a small area to the earth entire biosphere.
  24. What is the goal off environmental science?
  25. A major goal of the ferment of science is to
  26. understand unsold environmental problems.
  27. To accomplish this goal, environmental scientists study two main types
  28. off interaction between humans on their environment.
  29. How our actions alter environment on the use off natural
  30. sources like water, cool and oil.
  31. So the most important thing here, all of you, will
  32. be concentrating on the problems that concerns our environment in
  33. this field.
  34. That's why the studying off environmental sciences that includes all
  35. the physics and biological and social sciences is very important
  36. to understand.
  37. So environmental scientists have found that the environment is influenced
  38. by people and that people are influenced by the environment.
  39. A major goal off many environmental scientists is to understand
  40. unsolved environmental problems.
  41. To address this goal, environmental scientists study lots off environmental
  42. problems, and also they have to find the two types
  43. of interaction between humans and the environment.
  44. In other words, you cannot understand what kind off a
  45. problem we face until you find the type of interaction
  46. between you and the surrounding environment.
  47. The study off focuses on how we use natural resources,
  48. such us, the water on the plants, the other area
  49. of study focuses and how our actions alter our and
  50. Ronon, so we must gather and analyze information.
  51. Assigned the students to understand what's going on around this
  52. and I met.
  53. The scientists must gather and analyze to give us a
  54. solution for different types off disciplines.
  55. Even though involvement the scientists want to solve a mental
  56. problems, they are not the same as environmental people who
  57. studied as in Varma environmental scientists.
  58. So I have to say they describe the system on
  59. determine how they work before they start solving the phenomena.
  60. So also they can predict houses that might change under
  61. different scenarios.
  62. It is up to the public special interest groups and
  63. what it did tell people to make positions about how
  64. to manage the environment is a social movement seeks to
  65. protect the environment because all the bends on the environment
  66. on the people they surround you.
  67. So let's have a look about how many feels of
  68. a study that interact are called interdisciplinary sciences that me,
  69. they involved in many field off the study off environmental
  70. scientists. So ecology is the study of interaction of living
  71. organisms with one another on with their environment.
  72. So there's a big difference between the world that we're
  73. talking about as environmental world on the ecology world.
  74. Biology is an interdisciplinary subject.
  75. Is the study off living things?
  76. Chemistry Is the study off chemicals on their inter actions.
  77. Physics is the study of matter and energy.
  78. As long as we can look at those many fields
  79. of a study, we can say, for example, in biology,
  80. which is the scientific study off living organisms.
  81. You can't say physiology.
  82. Is the study off animals just part off biology?
  83. Botany is the study off plants.
  84. Micro biology is the study off micro organisms.
  85. Ecology is the study off how organisms winter act with
  86. the environment and each other.
  87. So you cannot say ecology is the same as the
  88. world violent.
  89. It's part off biology on this part off environmental sciences,
  90. earth sciences, the geology.
  91. And also is that Klein ology, the hydrology, everything that
  92. deals with Earth, water on dhe, the climate physics is
  93. the study of mother and engineering.
  94. Engineering is the science by which matter and energy.
  95. Both of them are made useful to humans.
  96. In which way is it in a she is Is
  97. it and projects?
  98. Is it in structure?
  99. We have to find out as long as we can
  100. say all of these studies are interacting with the social
  101. sciences, which is the scientific study off human population, like
  102. anthropology, sociology, geography, we have to say the human population
  103. on Earth features are very related also for the culture,
  104. geographical and historical aspect off a human kind.
  105. Sociology is the study of human population dynamics and statistics.
  106. When we talk about death rate when we talk about
  107. birth rate mortality, all of these are very important when
  108. we related to scientific.
  109. A study on how we can solve the environmental problems
  110. related to humans.
  111. So, as we can say here again, all these enter
  112. disappear. IUs subjects are very important when it comes to
  113. environmental sciences.
  114. So the mess important infield here when we talk about
  115. ecology, that's the big difference between ecology and the environmental
  116. science. Is the study off how living things interact with
  117. each other and with their none living organisms.
  118. When we talk about environmental sciences involves studying human population.
  119. Environmental sciences may also include the social sciences along with
  120. the ecology, so we can talk about as a whole
  121. a concept off environmental sciences.
  122. But how can economy X?
  123. It is very easy to understand it changes according to
  124. people's decision to protect the environment.
  125. Thank you for listening on this.
  126. Have the last question.
  127. I would like to ask anyone here.
  128. So the class So why studying environmental sciences is very
  129. important. I would like to He had the answers for
  130. the next period.
  131. Thank you for listening.
