Departments of Environmental Science and Resources, AQIU combine science and technology to save our planet. They use research and environmental intelligence—smart tracking of nature—to solve climate problems. These teams work hard to protect natural resources like water, air, and forests for the future.

🎯Key Focus Areas
👉Environmental Intelligence: Using computer programs to track pollution and weather changes. Think of it like a fitness tracker for the Earth.

👉Sustainable Solutions: Finding ways to use natural items without running out. An example is using solar power instead of coal.

👉Resource Management: Keeping our soil, plants, animal, and water safe and clean.
