Course Description:
The theme for Earth Systems Science is systems. The "Benchmarks" in the Earth Systems
Science Core emphasize “systems” as an organizing concept to understand life on Earth,
geological change, and the interaction of atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
Earth Systems Science provides students with an understanding of how the parts of a
system interact. The concept of matter cycling and energy flowing is used to help
understand how systems on planet Earth are interrelated.
