Science Plan and Implementation Strategy International Geosphere IGBP Report 55 International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Science Plan and Implementation Strategy Citation This report should be cited as follows: IGBP (2006) Science Plan and Implementation Strategy. IGBP Report No. 55. IGBP Secretariat, Stockholm. 76pp. Front Cover Illustration The cover illustration is a depiction of the Earth System, highlighting the complexities of and cross-scale interactions between the different elements of the system. The structure of the illustration mirrors the programme structure of IGBP, which is built around the Earth System compartments of land, atmosphere and ocean, the interfaces between these compartments, and system-wide integration. At the centre of the illustration is the Earth – reflecting the IGBP focus on the Earth System – with a superimposed grid indicating the importance of Earth System modelling. The illustra- tion emphasises the importance of physical, chemical and biological processes from the molecular to the global scale. Evidence of human activities is apparent in each Earth System compartment, reflecting the growing focus of IGBP and research partners on the coupled human-environment system. The illustration was commissioned by IGBP to help communicate IGBP science and to strengthen visual integration across IGBP products.

Web: www.igbp.net Editors: Bill Young, Kevin Noone and Will Steffen Series Editor: Bill Young Graphic Design: Hilarie Cutler Science Plan and Implementation Strategy Prepared by IGBP Secretariat staff: Wendy Broadgate Susannah Eliott João Morais Kevin Noone Will Steffen Bill Young and the following SC-IGBP members (past and present): Meinrat Andreae, Germany Guy Brasseur, United States Sandra Lavorel, France Karin Lochte, Germany Carlos Nobre, Brazil Berrien Moore III, United States Katherine Richardson, Denmark Mark Stafford Smith, Australia An Zhisheng, China (Beijing) with contributions to text boxes also provided by: Robert Buddemeier, United States James Galloway, United States Roger Hanson, United States Timothy Jickells, United Kingdom Bernd Kromer, Germany Steven Smith, United States Andrew Watson, United Kingdom Preface This Science Plan and Implementation Strategy sets out the research agenda for the second phase of IGBP. This phase will need to be even more integrative than the first, and therein lies a major challenge. We cannot lose sight of the need for focused, disciplinary research in areas where process-level Earth System understanding is poor. Yet at the same time, we must address over-arching questions that require a systemic – not just a systematic – approach. We must combine research on Earth System components (atmosphere, land and ocean) with research on processes occurring at the interfaces between components, and we must integrate across all of these to develop diagnostic and predictive capabilities for the Earth System. Herein, we describe our strategy for producing high quality, unbiased, credible, fundamental scientific research in the area of global change: a strategy centred on ten projects, to be carried out by the several thousand scientists worldwide who are part of the IGBP network. Further, we describe how we will communicate the results of this research to different audiences, in order to realise our vision: “to provide scientific knowledge to improve the sustainability of the living Earth”. This should be considered a living document. Like IGBP itself, is has evolved considerably since the first draft. It is neither a static nor an exclusive plan for the second phase of IGBP, but rather, is a guide book for our continued scientific journey. We describe how IGBP developed over the years and moved into its second phase, how we responded to the changing research landscape and our plans for the evolution of the network. As with any good guide book, we have tried to identify the major vistas that IGBP will visit in the next eight years, but have purposefully left ample opportunity for further exploration. We expect the guidebook to be updated as the journey continues and as new territory is explored. This document is the work of many hands and minds. As such, it illustrates one of the greatest strengths of IGBP: the willingness of a large number of scientists around the world to voluntarily give their time and expertise to the common endeavour of building the scientific infrastructure necessary to conduct global change research. We believe the document reflects the diversity of expertise, disciplines and cultures that characterises our scientific community, and their commitment to addressing some of the most important scientific issues of our time: understanding how our planet functions in a holistic sense including the important role of humans, and mapping out a sustainable future for humankind.

The authors and editors thank of these projects and to cosponsoring organisations.

James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis: "A New Look at Life on Earth" ... for the Life and the Earth sciences. Sébastien Dutreuil James Lovelock (b. 1919) was described by the curators of an exhibition at London’s Science Museum in 2014 as a "scientist, inventor and maverick."1 He was clearly an eclectic inventor from the very beginning of his career as a research engineer in the 1940’s. He was an accomplished scientist before formulating the Gaia hypothesis in the 1970’s, with pioneering work in analytical chemistry, biochemistry and cryobiology. He was perhaps a maverick, when he quit academia in 1964, at age 45 to settle as an "independent scientist." But the Gaia hypothesis, his major accomplishment, is that of a dreamer.

  • Atmospheric Exchange of Reduced Sulfur Compounds in Natural Ecosystems By
    Terrestrial-Atmospheric Exchange of Reduced Sulfur Compounds in Natural Ecosystems By Mary Elizabeth Whelan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robert C. Rhew, Chair Professor Kurt Cuffey Professor Allen Goldstein Professor Ron Amundsen Fall 2013 Abstract Terrestrial-Atmospheric Exchange of Reduced Sulfur Compounds in Natural Ecosystems by Mary Elizabeth Whelan Doctor of Philosophy in Geography University of California, Berkeley Professor Robert C. Rhew, Chair The sulfur biogeochemical cycle includes biotic and abiotic processes important to global climate, atmospheric chemistry, food security, and the study of related cycles. The largest flux of sulfur on Earth is weathering from the continents into the sulfate-rich oceans; one way in which sulfur can be returned to land is through transport of reduced sulfur gases via the atmosphere. Here I developed a method for quantifying low-level environmental fluxes of several sulfur-containing gases, H2S, COS, CH3SCH3 (DMS), and HSCH3, between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. COS is the most prevalent reduced sulfur gas in the atmosphere, considered to be inert in the troposphere except for its uptake in plant leaves and to a smaller extent aerobic soils. This dissertation reports two surprising cases that go against conventional thinking about the sulfur cycle. We found that the common salt marsh plant Batis maritima can mediate net COS production to the atmosphere. We also found that an aerobic wheat field soil produces COS abiotically when incubated in the dark at > 25 °C and at lower temperatures under light conditions.
