Environmental Sciences (ENS)

Section Information

Environmental Sciences focus on the study of natural systems, environmental processes, and human impacts on the planet. The field integrates physical, chemical, biological, and social sciences to understand environmental change and support sustainable resource management.

Current research includes climate change, air and water quality, soil systems, ecosystem health, biodiversity loss, pollution dynamics, and environmental policy. Advances in remote sensing, environmental modeling, big data analytics, and monitoring technologies are improving assessment and decision making.

This section publishes field investigations, laboratory studies, modeling research, environmental assessments, interdisciplinary analyses, and review articles related to environmental processes and sustainability challenges.
