This paper investigates the opportunities for further collaboration between the natural and social sciences. From 81 systematically identified and reviewed papers published in scientific journals, it became clear that complex situations that depend on human behaviour as well as natural processes require natural-social science collaboration. The creation of a community of collaborative natural-social science research, that learns from and can contribute to best practice across the sciences, is advocated to support naturalsocial science collaboration. Across disciplines, it became clear that such a community should deal with (1) difference between paradigms in the current sciences; (2) creation of skills and competences of the involved scientists;(3) scarcity of institutions sympathetic to collaborative research; and (4) the internal organization of collaborative projects.

“…In environmental science，much progress has been made in the basic theoretical questions such as the connotation and extension [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], the basic principles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][15][16][17][18] and the discipline system [8,10,14,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]28]. However, due to the shorter history of environmental science, scientists have different opinions on some theoretical issues in the field.…”

What are Basic Principles in Environmental Science

Until now, there are different opinions upon basic principles of environmental science. Few scholars believe that there are no unique basic principles in environment science, but many scientists disagree with this opinion. Based on the foundations of previous work, four basic principles of environmental science are put forward in this paper: systematic principle of environment, principle of environmental capacity, symbiosis principle of human between environment, and entropy principle.

“…Characteristics and challenges of environmental sciences programs Fueled by an increasing scientific and societal attention to environmental issues, a widely diverging set of higher education environmental programs has been developed over the last four decades (e.g., for the Netherlands, Copius Peereboom and Bouwer 1993, Ginjaar and Zijderveld 1996, Schoot Uiterkamp and Leroy 2008 for the United States, Maniates andWhissel 2000, Vincent andFocht 2009). Many of these programs are labeled environmental sciences or environmental studies, but similar programs are also offered under labels such as ecology, resource management, environmental management, land-use planning, or human geography (see, e.g., Vedeld and Krogh 2005, Kainer et al 2006, QAA 2007).…”

Conceptual models are useful for facing the challenges of environmental sciences curriculum and course developers and students. These challenges are inherent to the interdisciplinary and problem-oriented character of environmental sciences curricula. In this article, we review the merits of conceptual models in facing these challenges. These models are valuable because they can be used to (a) improve the coherence and focus of an environmental sciences curriculum, (b) analyze environmental issues and integrate knowledge, (c) examine and guide the process of environmental research and problem solving, and (d) examine and guide the integration of knowledge in the environmental-research and problem-solving processes. We advocate the use of various conceptual models in environmental sciences education. By applying and reflecting on these models, students start to recognize the complexity of human-environment systems, to appreciate the various approaches to framing environmental problems, and to comprehend the role of science in dealing with these problems.
