The investigation of environmental protection (ecosystem) issues is conducted to ensure the health of ecosystems.
Erosion and Soil Degradation: Geological research investigates the causes and effects of soil erosion and degradation, recommending measures to mitigate these issues..
Water Resource Management: By investigating the pollution and depletion of surface and groundwater, strategies are developed for the conservation and sustainable use of water resources.
Natural Disasters: This research studies the causes and effects of geological disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, and volcanic activity, proposing measures for risk reduction.
Mineral Extraction: This research assesses the environmental impacts of mining activities and identifies conservation measures to mitigate the effects of these activities on ecosystems.
