Environmental history is the study of humans and nature and their past interrelationships.

Environmental historians base their understanding of human and nature relations primarily on historical methodology, but often borrow from the work of scientists and scholars in fields outside of history. As a result, many scholarly contributions pertinent to environmental history are written by scholars who typically would not identify themselves as historians.

 

Notability: This overview article is cited in [World Future Society]'s 2007

symposium planning forum as a framework adaptable for Futures Learning.

 

Because of its [interdisciplinary] nature, this field of study does not always lend itself to being tightly compartmented. Please consider Five Regions of the Future'' as a benchmark.
