What is environmental geology?

After giving it some more thought, I would say that environmental geology is essentially the study of earth and earth processes / systems. As Jenny mentioned in class, “a system is more than the sum of its parts” –In order to grasp the cause, severity, and identify solutions for environmental concerns, one must first understand the pieces that link together forming the system(s) that are affected. I think this is a really important idea to understand, especially when looking at matters from a scientific perspective.
