Introduction
Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary field of science involving physical, biological, chemical and social dimensions. Hence the Department of Environmental Sciences (DES) was established in 2018 at Hazara University. It is an integrated program designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the fundamentals of biological and physical sciences in solving environmental problems (such as global warming, greenhouse gas emissions/air pollution, water pollution, heavy industrial waste generation, solid waste issues, rapid depletion of natural resources, heavy deforestation, species extinction, climate change (especially referring to change in temperature and rain distribution resulting in glaciers melting, sea level rise and risks posed to coastal areas) and Ozone depletion). The program focuses on research and teaching methods that understand the issues and arrive at solutions to pressing societal problems; prepares its graduates to understand environmental systems, predict environmental change, participate in the management of the environment, and contribute for the promotion of sustainable environment and ecofriendly society....
Vision
Our vision is to develop as an institute of learning in Pakistan on environment with international prominence through: • innovative and transformative research in environmental sciences, • excellent education for future environmentalists and for the general public • service to humanity through expansion and dissemination of environmental sciences knowledge...
