Environmental Geology

Environmental geology is the study of the interactions between humans and the Earth, focusing on how geological processes and materials impact the environment. The course covers topics such as natural hazards (earthquakes, floods, landslides), resource management (water, minerals, energy), and the effects of human activities like pollution and land use on the Earth's systems. It emphasizes understanding geological principles to solve environmental challenges, mitigate risks, and promote sustainable development, providing students with practical knowledge to address issues like climate change, soil erosion, and waste disposal.
