Polluting is a very important issue when discussing the environment and factors, which affect it. One form of pollution, which affects the environment, is air pollution. Air pollution involves the air being polluted by gases, dust and smoke from vehicles and industry.

The Department of Geography and Environmental Management (GEM) is one of the leading geography departments in Canada with a strong commitment to the discovery, dissemination, and application of geographic knowledge focused on the complex interactions within and between the human and natural environments. The Department embraces a three-fold mission of excellence in research, excellence in research-led teaching in all undergraduate and graduate degree programmes, and celebration of, and respect for all, members of the Department, Faculty of Environment, and the University of Waterloo.
Fundamentally, our research falls into four broad areas:
We also have several cross-cutting themes that intersect with each of these areas (e.g., climate change). GEM’s commitment to teaching and learning is through a comprehensive set of offerings at the undergraduate level and at the graduate level. Our collaboration with other members of the University, within the Faculty, across the University and with our sister department at Wilfrid Laurier University, demonstrates our commitments to both disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity.
See the key people responsible for our undergraduate and graduate programs, and a list of faculty members at GEM and their teaching and research interests.
The B.Sc. (Env.) program is designed to provide a strong interdisciplinary grounding in environmental sciences. Management and decision-making skills are emphasized for the application of scientific knowledge to environmental problems and the evaluation of environmental policies. This program promotes practical problem-solving and communications skills and includes experiential learning opportunities such as co-op, research and international exchange programs. Through this unique four year degree program, you will gain the knowledge you need to balance in-depth science within a broader context of societal needs, economics and politics. Co-op program available.
Program Highlights
Students learn in the classroom, and through hands-on work in labs and in the field. Labs allow students to design and conduct experiments, and problem solve using state-of-the-art computing and analytical tools. Training in field research begins as early as labs in first year courses.
This major provides the knowledge, skills and methods an environmental scientist requires as environmental consultant, environmental manager, environmental and/or resource planner, geographic information systems analyst or to facilitate future graduate work.
