地球系统科学初探

A Preliminary Probe into Earth System Science

地球系统科学研究目标宏大、投资强度大、多学科交叉、需要昂贵且复杂的实验设备,已经从传统地球科学发展成为“大地球科学”。作为“大地球科学”的地球系统科学要以大科学思维方式,即以对传统地球科学各学科的全覆盖性、大交叉性和资源的大协作性来指导学科的发展,为当前社会经济发展中的人口、资源、环境与发展问题提供知识准备与技术支持。

Difference from traditional earth science, earth system science faces more complex problems and needs cooperation of sciences from various fields and huge expenses on equipment instrument. The development of earth system science should be guided by macroscope scientific mode of thinking to reach a harmonization between of population, resource, environment, and social development.
