Today, however, those systems are being driven like never before by human technologies and activities. Our understanding has struggled to keep pace with the rapidity and magnitude of human-driven changes, their impacts on human and ecosystem sustainability and resilience, and the effectiveness of different pathways to address those challenges.Given the urgency of understanding human-driven changes, NSF will need to sustain and expand its efforts to achieve greater impact. The time is ripe to create a next-generation Earth systems science initiative that emphasizes research on complex interconnections and feedbacks between natural and social processes. This will require NSF to place an increased emphasis on research inspired by real-world problems while maintaining their strong legacy of curiosity driven research across many disciplines ? as well as enhance the participation of social, engineering, and data scientists, and strengthen efforts to include diverse perspectives in research. 610 $aEarth Sciences 610 $aScience 700 $aNational Academies of Sciences$b Engineering, and Medicine$01596851 701 $aAffairs$b Policy and Global$01655080 701 $aSciences$b Division on Engineering and Physical$01651736 701 $aEducation$b Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and$01731314 701 $aStudies$b Division on Earth and Life$01731720 701 $aFoundation$b Committee on Advancing a Systems Approach to Studying the Earth: A Strategy for the National Science$01741468 712 02$aPolicy and Global Affairs, 712 02$aDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences, 712 02$aDivision on Earth and Life Studies, 712 02$aDivision of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, 712 02$aCommittee on Advancing a Systems Approach to Studying the Earth: A Strategy for the National Science Foundation, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861967403321 996 $aNext generation earth systems science at the National Science Foundation$94167502 997 $aUNINA
