Global change in the geosphere-biosphere: initial priorities for an IGBP
Book

OSTI ID:6899681
We have outlined some of the factors that lead use to endorse the concept of a focused, international geosphere-biosphere program, whose goal is to understand the interactive physical, chemical, and biological processes that regulate the Earth's unique environment for life, the changes that are occurring in this system, and the manner in which they are influenced by human actions. There is a pressing need to assess the consequence of human activities in the context of natural global change and the provide the body of knowledge necessary to chart a wise course to the future. We believe that the state of our science is ready now to accept this demanding challenge and that the task is sufficiently urgent and of such a scale as to require international and multidisciplinary attention.
