What are the Biogeosciences ?
A definition of biogeosciences (NSF, 2000)
Living organisms affect the chemical and physical composition ofthe atmosphere, oceans, and solid Earth. Similarly, the physicalsystems of the Earth have major impacts on individual organismsas well as entire ecosystems. Changes in either system are reflectedphysically, chemically, and biologically. These changes occur acrossan extensive range of spatial and temporal scales.
The study of how these systems interact and develop togetherthrough time is known as biogeosciences.
