O ne of the great scientific challenges of the 21st century is to forecast the future of planet Earth. As human activities push atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane concentrations far beyond anything seen for nearly half a million years (prompting the strongest statement yet from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that human ...

A dynamic earth observation system
Parallel Computing, 2003The paper presents an overview of SARA/Digital Puglia (Synthetic Aperture Radar Atlas), a remote sensing environment that shows how grid technologies and high performance computing can be efficiently used to build dynamic earth observation systems for the management of huge quantities of data coming from space missions and for their on-demand ...

Genealogies of Earth System thinking
Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, 2020In the first half of the 20th century, the Earth was already envisioned as a system of interacting parts intertwined with human cultural evolution. Historical sources of Earth Systems thinking can still be relevant in light of current and future trajectories, and may offer insights to inform and rethink present-day discourses and strategies.

The planet Earth is a mixed living and nonliving system. It is the suprasystem of all supranational systems as well as the total ecological system, with all its living and nonliving components. The Earth is studied in this article in terms of a general theory of all concrete systems, with special attention to the important subset of living systems. The

Abstract This chapter describes the components of the Earth system that determine the weather phenomena, introduces the notion of an accurate and skillful forecast, and discusses how heat is transported and exchanged and where the energy that drives weather phenomena comes from. More specifically, it addresses the following questions:

Climate research today is ultimately driven by the need for a better understanding of the impacts of human activities on ecological, hydrological and socioeconomic systems. Theory and model development and testing are required in order to understand climate itself, and its impacts.

Earth system models are important research tools for improving understanding of the climate system and for simulating climate projections. This chapter is devoted to the basic construction principles and challenges of such models, whereas application examples are provided in companion chapters. Since they still do not incorporate the full complexity of

Earth systems engineering and management
IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, 2000The impact of human activities on natural systems has grown to the point that we need to engage consciously in earth systems engineering and management. I address why this is the case, and what I mean by such a provocative term. In addition, I explore what we can learn from relevant experience, and how this daunting task should be approached.
