1、Geoscience World Congress 2008 Earth System Science A wide range of multidisciplinary fields of research augment classical Earth Science today; geosphere-biospherecryosphere- atmosphere interactions are particularly important. The 33rd IGC programme highlights the need to promote interaction and int
2、egration of the Earth Sciences. Hence the concept of this IGC as the Geoscience World Congress 2008.The Geoscience World Congress 2008 will span the whole field of Earth Science, binding together classical geology with geophysics, geochemistry, and the biogeosciences. We will accommodate the variety
