Environmental Scientist

Environmental scientists study the environment and work to protect it by researching issues such as pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction. Their work often involves collecting and analysing data from air, water, and soil samples, and then using this information to advise organisations, government bodies, or the public on best practices for sustainability and environmental protection. Many environmental scientists are involved in writing reports, creating policies, and ensuring that companies comply with environmental laws. Much of their time may be spent outdoors conducting fieldwork, as well as in laboratories or offices analysing findings and preparing recommendations.
