The study of Earth Systems Science demonstrates the interplay of the biosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and the anthroposphere, and highlights the complexity and multi-disciplinary nature of environmental challenges. Knowledge of the features of these systems is applied to understand Earth’s energy budget and biogeochemical cycles, including the role of humankind to cause change from local to global scales and affect the “safe operating space for humanity”.
