“The earth and space sciences are in the midst of a major revolution. . . . New insights into the dynamics of the earth system and the relationships between its many subsystems [and humans] make this an exciting time of new discovery. The pathways and interfaces . . . are being explored through the collaborative efforts of scientists from all of the earth and space sciences. We are coming to understand that all of humanity impacts, and is impacted by, the earth system. This emerging awareness of the interrelationships between natural and social systems make it imperative that all people have a fundamental understanding of the earth system.”
