· Environmental Geology and Water Sciences
The International Geospher-biosphere Programme, initiated in 1986 as an interdisciplinariy study of global change, is an evolving program. It selects questions for study deemed to be of greatest importance in contributing to our understand of the changing nature of the global environment on time scales of decades to centuries that most affect the biosphere, that are most susceptible to human perturbations and that will most likely lead to practical, predictive capability. Seven key questions are listed and the planning for initiation of research is given.
