Investigate an environmental issue/problem and create a presentation to report on how environmental geosciences (GIS, oceanography, soil science, biogeography, hydrology, etc.) are being applied to understand and address the issue/problem. The following suggestions are general. Actual topics should be more specific as to the location, type of pollution or problem, species of animal, health threat, etc. This should not be a broad investigation of a problem, but a more detailed analysis of a current or recent problem at a specific location. For example if you wanted to look at deforestation, investigate it at a particular location (think local- state or country level is too broad), rather than deforestation in general.

Potential topics include but are NOT limited to:
Water pollution
Air pollution
Erosion
Biodiversity
Deforestation
Soil contamination
Ecological restoration
Conservation of habitat
Management of water supply
Management of solid waste
