Environmental Geology

Environmental Geology: (en·vi·ron·men·tal ge·ol·o·gy) a branch of geology that relates to the impact of human activity on earth, and the pollution of geologic formations, reserves, and resources. Common focus points of environmental geology are contaminated soil, groundwater aquifers, lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Whereby professional geologists assess and remediate contamination plumes in all media, as well as mitigate soil vapor intrusion concerns to reduce ecological and human health risk concerns.
