Environmental Science Career Paths
Environmental Scientist
Environmental Scientists are responsible for conducting research and identifying and managing pollutants and hazards that have a negative impact on the environment. Environmental Scientists gather data, collect air samples and analyze the effect of human life on the environment.
Conservation Scientist
Conservation Scientists are responsible for the management and protection of natural resources. Conservation Scientists should expect to provide advice to governments at all levels and private landowners about the best ways to improve their land.
Environmental Consultant
Environmental Consultants are responsible for the assessment and advice provided on all environmental issues. Environmental Consultants should expect to ensure that all environmental policies and procedures are in compliance with environmental laws.
