IGBP studies the interactions between biological, chemical and physical processes and interactions with human systems and collaborates with other programmes to develop and impart the understanding necessary to respond to global change.
Goals
IGBP´s research goals are to:
- Analyze the interactive physical, chemical and biological processes that define Earth System dynamics
