Environmental Scientist

Environmental scientists in the UK study the environment and develop solutions to problems such as pollution, climate change, and resource depletion. Their work involves collecting and analysing data from air, water, and soil samples, as well as preparing reports for government agencies, private companies, and charities. They may work in the field, in laboratories, or in offices, and often collaborate with other scientists and policymakers to create strategies that protect the environment and promote sustainable development. A typical day might include site visits, environmental impact assessments, and presenting findings to stakeholders. Environmental scientists play a key role in advising how to minimise negative effects on nature and ensure compliance with UK environmental laws.
