Research
Highlights from Global change scientists from all regions of the globe are gathering in Amsterdam, from 10 to13 July 2001,to participate in the open science conference: Challenges of a Changing Earth. Here they will present the results of their years of research, and listen to their colleagues in turn, as together they review the state of Earth’s environment. Research carried out under the aegis of the IGBP Core Projects is crucial to global change science. Each one of the Core Projects, dealing with different aspects of Earth System research, contributes to the expanding knowledge base about our planetary life support system and the changes that are occurring to it. The Core Projects cover the wide spectrum of Earth System studies, from the land, the oceans, the atmosphere, to rivers and coasts and the water and biogeochemical cycles that are part of them all. Cutting across these studies is the perspective of change - both natural and human-driven - from the past, through the present and into the future. Each Core Project has contributed one or several examples of its research portfolio to this issue of the NewsLetter. Put together, they point to the cumulative effects of human activities on the global environment, effects that are already clearly discernable beyond natural variability, and that could cause fundamental shifts in the way the Earth functions. Along their research pathways, they offer new insights and understanding toward meeting the challenge of a changing Earth.
