What is Geoecology?

Geoecology is an interdisciplinary science, probably best translated as environmental sciences (German definition).

Geoecology is not a synonym for physical geography. It is not dealing solely with the abiotic aspects of ecology.

Geoecologists are rather "specializing in interdisciplinarity", studying the interactions and interrelations abundant in our environment.

Geoecologists work in the industry, for municipal, regional or federal authorities, in universities and research institutes, in foreign aid programs, and as freelance consultants or engineers.

Broad education combined with high-quality specialized training allows geoecologists to work in fields such as environmental analytics, waste disposal, contaminated sites remediation as well as agriculture and forestry.
