Earth System Science
Earth System Science: is the application of systems science to the Earth sciences. In particular, it considers interactions between the Earth's "spheres"-atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, biosphere, and, even, the magnetosphere-as well as the impact of human societies on these components.
