ENERGY & environment
Under this domain, researchers dedicate their efforts to studying and protecting the natural environment through various projects and initiatives. This diversified field addresses critical issues such as climate change, pollutant control, and sustainable practices.
Climate change focuses on understanding climate change requires knowledge of atmospheric chemistry (greenhouse gases), energy balance and thermodynamics. Pollutant control involves developing effective pollution control strategies involving treatment processes, dispersion modeling, and effects on living organisms.
In sustainable practices, researchers study sustainable agricultural practices involving soil nutrients, water retention, and erosion, and crop genetics and pest management.
In summary, the domain of environmental research encompasses a broad range of activities focused on understanding and protecting the natural environment. By addressing climate change, conserving biodiversity, managing resources sustainably, controlling pollution, and promoting sustainable development, researchers contribute to the overarching goal of achieving environmental sustainability for the benefit of current and future generations.
