环境科学理学学士学位（大气）

地球的环境提供了有利于生命的条件：充氧的气氛，水资源和土壤作为植物生长的媒介。行星上发生的环境过程控制着空气，能量，物质和水的运动。通过学习环境科学，学生将学习科学知识并体验室外环境的美丽。该学位课程探讨人类活动如何不利地改变某些环境过程和环境质量，改善环境质量的技术以及使人类对环境影响最小的做法。环境科学学位通过通识科学课程和对大气，土地和土壤，水以及环境宣传和教育的专门研究提供了坚实的科学基础。该学位结合了以下方面的利益：预测和了解天气模式，监测环境变化，养护和管理土壤和生物有机体，确保健康的溪流和充
Earth's environment provides conditions conducive for life: an oxygenated atmosphere, water resources, and soil as a medium for plant growth. Environmental processes occurring on the planet govern the movement of air, energy, matter, and water. Through the study of Environmental Sciences, students will learn the science and experience the beauty of the outdoor environment. This degree program addresses how human activities can adversely alter some environmental processes and environmental quality, techniques to improve environmental quality, and practices that minimize human impacts on the environment. The Environmental Sciences degree provides a strong science foundation through general science coursework and specialized studies of the atmosphere, land and soil, water, and environmental outreach and education. The degree combines interests in predicting and understanding weather patterns, monitoring environmental change, conserving and managing soil and biological organisms, assuring healthy streams and adequate water supplies, and improving environmental quality with the shaping of new policies and educating others about the natural environment and environmental issues. Example careers include Atmospheric Scientist, Climatologist, Environmental Specialist, Environmental Technician, Hydrologist, Land Manager, Meteorologist, Soil Scientist, and Water Quality Specialist. Employment may occur in a variety of sectors, including federal, state, county and city government agencies, non-government agencies (NGOs), and private consulting firms.
