media type="custom" key="23359038" Environmental science is the study of the environment and the interconnecting systems it contains, as well as the way people interact with their natural surroundings and utilize natural resources. This field in the sciences is highly interdisciplinary, and the type of research environmental scientists do is extremely diverse. People may study everything from climate change to volcanoes as part of their work in environmental science, and employment opportunities include governments, conservation organizations, and private firms interested in environmental topics. Pay scales vary, depending on qualifications and areas of interest, and can include benefits like opportunities to travel to conferences and events. The study of environmental science includes sciences such as geology, physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology, and climatology. Some people are also interested in social science topics so they can more effectively study human interactions with the environment and topics like the history of human societies and their relationship with the environment. Social science is also useful for people working in public outreach and communication, as they want to be able to effectively convey concepts to members of the public.
