In today’s Anthropocene, where human activities are significantly impacting our planet, understanding environmental patterns and processes is crucial to addressing both current and future crises. Environmental sciences, an interdisciplinary field that examines the interaction between biotic and abiotic components of the environment, have become increasingly important in tackling rising issues such as pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, pandemics, and decreased agricultural production. The challenge of sustainability involves balancing human needs with the necessity of reducing environmental impacts while maintaining ecological integrity. This field encompasses various disciplines, including natural resource management, energy sciences, climate sciences, and conservation biology, and also considers economic, political, and social factors that affect environmental processes.
