It is an applied science concerned with the practical application of the basics of geology in solving environmental problems. It includes hydrogeology, environmental mineralogy, hydrogeochemistry, soil mechanics, etc. The fundamental concepts of environmental geology are human population growth, sustainability, hazardous earth processes, etc. as climate change and provides sound advice on how humanity can live responsibly on Earth.
Environmental geology research focuses on the physical and chemical processes occurring on or near the Earth's surface, impacted by human activities. Hydrogeology is important these days because some parts of the world are sacred with frequent rainfall and abundant surface water resources, but most countries have to use water stored underground to supplement their needs. Environmental geology applies geological information to the solution, prediction and study of geological complications such as earth materials, landscape assessment, natural hazards, environmental impact analysis and remediation .
TRACK11: Environmental disasters
An environmental disaster is a natural environment caused by human action. Environmental disasters can affect agriculture, biodiversity, the economy and human health. . Disasters are not random and do not occur accidentally. They are the convergence of hazards and conditions of vulnerability. Not only do disasters reveal underlying social, economic, political and environmental problems, but they unfortunately contribute to making them worse. Such events pose serious challenges to development, as they erode hard-won gains in terms of political and social progress, as well as infrastructure and technology development. There are six main climatic regions: tropical rainy, dry, temperate marine, temperate continental, polar and highlands. The tropics have two types of rainy climates: tropical humid and tropical humid and dry.

TRACK12: Environmental ecosystem
An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, along with weather and landscape, work together to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems contain biotic or living parts as well as abiotic or non-living parts. Biotic factors include plants, animals, and other organisms. There are three main types of ecosystems: freshwater, oceanic and terrestrial. Each type of ecosystem can support a wide variety of habitats and thus represents the diversity of plants and animals on planet Earth. The ecosystem is an autonomous unit of living things (plants, animals and decomposers) and their non-living environment (soil, air and water). Example – a meadow and a forest.
TRACK13: Climate change and global warming
Climate change refers to the infinite variations in temperatures and weather conditions, including precipitation, temperature and winds. These changes can be natural, for example by variations in the solar cycle. Global warming refers to the persistent warming of the Earth caused by increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change encompasses global warming but refers to the consequences of this change in the Earth's overall temperature. Warmer temperatures over time alter weather patterns and upset the usual balance of nature. This brings many risks to human beings and all other life forms on Earth. Global warming refers to the increase in global temperatures due primarily to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
TRACK14: Bioaccumulation and ecological impacts
Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances, such as pesticides or other chemicals in an organism. Bioaccumulation occurs when an organism takes in a substance at a faster rate than the substance is lost through catabolism and excretion. Biotransformation can greatly alter the bioaccumulation of chemicals in an organism. Significant damage to organisms and declines in wildlife populations have been observed, along with long-term bioaccumulation and biomagnification of persistent xenobiotic chemicals. Heavy metals, in particular organic or biomethylated mercury, lead, cadmium and organic tin compounds have caused environmental damage through local bioaccumulation.
TRACK15: Biogeochemical cycle and hydrology
The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a synthetic substance moves through the biotic and abiotic parts of the Earth. Biogeochemistry tells us that organic, topographical and compound variables are included. There are many biogeochemical cycles that are currently viewed in an interesting way, as environmental changes and human effects dramatically alter the speed, power, and fit of these moderately obscure cycles.
Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources and environmental sustainability of basins slopes.
