Epidemiology is a branch of medical science that primarily focuses on the study of diseases and health conditions in populations. While it is not exclusively an earth science, as it primarily deals with human health, it does involve studying various factors that may influence the occurrence and spread of diseases on Earth, such as environmental factors, human behavior, and social determinants of health.
