Physics is essential for understanding natural phenomena. It provides a basis for understanding the impact of humans on the environment. This understanding is essential for environmental stewardship. Environmental physics is essentially the applications of the principles of physics to environmental processes and problems. Environmental physicists use the principles and techniques of physics to study the earth’s environment. They have made significant contributions to understanding global climate change and other environmental issues. This paper provides an introduction to environmental physics.

“…The seismometers are anchored to slabs of different materials and shock waves are produced by inducing a disturbance through a stroke produced by a steel sphere (97 g) falling from a fixed height (1 m). The electric signals induced in the oscillating coils are first amplified and 1 RTL systems are widely used nowadays in science education, at high school and college level, because they enable students to observe and work out data in real time, to easily analyse data and to be confronted with predictions. Several commercial RTL systems are available on the market; we have used systems produced by Vernier Software and Technology [6] and Pasco Scientific [7].…”

We report on a teaching approach oriented to the understanding of some relevant concepts of wave propagation in solids. It is based on simple experiments involving the propagation of shock mechanical waves in solid slabs of various materials. Methods similar to the generation and propagation of seismic waves are adopted. Educational seismometers, interfaced with computers, are used to detect and visualize the shock waves and to analyse their propagation properties. A qualitative discussion of the results concerning the propagation and the attenuation of the waves allows us to draw basic conclusions about the response of the matter to solicitation impacts and their propagation.

In the framework of teaching environmental physics at the Free University of Amsterdam (VUA) six experiments in environmental physics have been developed. The experiments are incorporated in the student laboratories for physics majors. Therefore, first an overview is given of the set-up and methodology of the student laboratories in general. Next, the experiments are described. They are available on the web for anybody to copy including a typical 'example experiment' to test the equipment and experimental procedure.As an example an experiment on laser Doppler anemometry is described.
