Intro Music
Welcome to Earth Science Week.
This week you will be hearing from five of my colleagues on important
topics in the Earth System that NASA focuses on in its research.
The theme of Earth Science Week is No Child Left Inside.
This addresses our growing understanding that the natural world
affects our emotional and intellectual development.
NASA's Earth System Science addresses five big questions:
How is the Global Earth System changing?
What are the primary forces on the Earth System?
How does the Earth System respond to natural and human-enduced changes?
What are the consequences of changes in the Earth System for human civilization?
And how will the Earth System change in the future?
Each of these help us to understand our planet
and how the changes in it affect us.
