As I prepare to work on using satellite images to help benefit agriculture, ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, and controlling salt-water intrusion, I realize at every step that application of Physics concepts is quite an integral part of Environmental science.
I will discuss how my background in Physics, Maths and Chemistry gives me strength to better understand the current topics in environmental science as I aspire to apply my natural aptitude for instruments and experiments to estimate the pollutants in our air, water, land and food and want to invent and implement feasible solution to better the health of all living being and mother earth.
For students with environmental mind-set (future environmentalists), I strongly suggest for a through foundation in Physics, Maths, Chemistry and Computer Science to be better equipped in tackling the towering task that an environmentalist have to do.
