    Kelsey Wilson
    Environmental science is defined as the multidisciplinary study of the environment and finding solutions to environmental problems. It incorporates understanding of ecosystems, social sciences, natural resources, agriculture, energy, and pollution. The main goal is to reduce impacts of development on the environment. Environmental science emerged in the 1960s due to complex environmental issues and grew with new laws and public awareness. It has since branched into areas like engineering, resource management, climate change monitoring, and environmental law. The course will cover ecology, human population, natural resources, agriculture, energy, and pollution.

    CAPE ENVIRONMETAL STUDIES


    A STUDY GUIDE

    Environmental Science is simply defined as the study of the environment that seeks to find
    solutions for environmental problems. It is a multidiscipline field that incorporates an
    understanding of ecology (ecosystems) with social sciences (human relationships,
    perceptions and policies) , natural resources ( and its sustainability), agriculture, energy
    and pollution. The main purpose of this field is geared towards reducing the possible
    impacts of development on the environment.

    Environmental Science began in the late 1960’s and was driven by a need to analyse
    complex environmental problems. This developed into the creation of laws and protocols to
    protect the environment. Today public awareness is the main driving force of the field.

    This field is now developing and branching off into areas such as environmental engineering,
    natural resource management, global warming monitoring and environmental law to name a
    few. Within the course we will be investigating the following sections of environmental
    science:

    UNIT 1 : Ecology, Human Population and Natural Resources

    Module 1 – Fundamental Ecological Principles

    Module 2 – Human Population and the Environment

    Module 3 – Sustainable Use of Natural Resources

    UNIT 2: Agriculture, Energy and Environmental Pollution

    Module 1 - Agriculture and the Environment

    Module 2 - Energy and the Environment

    Module 3 - Pollution of the Environment
