Environmental scientists strive to understand past and present processes so that reliable and scientifically defensible predictions can be made about the future. Environmental scientists and specialists are committed to combating pollution, enforcing policy, and promoting sustainable practices. They must have strong analytical and problem-solving skills to develop science-based policies and actions that protect the environment and maintain or improve society's quality of life.
