Earth Systems Science

Earth System Sciences starts from a multidisciplinary approach to understand how the Earth is changing and the consequences for life on Earth with a focus on enabling prediction and mitigation of undesirable consequences. Such an approach involves studying the processes and interactions (cycles) among the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, and geosphere from a global to local point-of-view, and across the time scales in which these processes interact. It needs also to include studies on how human activity interact with these processes and cycles.
