Abstract
Human activities are leading to changes in the global environment at virtually unprecedented rates, with potentially severe consequences for our future. The study and solution of the problems of global environmental change require urgent and efficient action. This crucial task formulates a challenge for science: “to describe and understand the interactive physical, chemical and biological processes that regulate the total Earth System, the unique environment for life” (Toward, 1988).
