4. Cross-Disciplinary Fields

The most modern research often happens at the overlap of all three areas.

• Green Chemistry: Designing chemical processes that reduce hazardous substances.

• Bio-Geochemistry: Studying the chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes that govern the composition of the natural environment.

• Pharmacology & Ethnobotany: Studying plant-based chemicals for medicinal use.

• Synthetic Biology: Re-engineering organisms for environmental purposes (e.g., plastic-eating bacteria).
