   TOPICS
   
   Recognizing the connections between interdependent Earth systems is critical
   for understanding the world in which we live.
   
   Image
   
    * Atmosphere
      
      
      ATMOSPHERE
      
      The atmosphere is a gaseous envelope surrounding and protecting our planet
      from the intense radiation of the Sun and serves as a key interface
      between the terrestrial and ocean cycles.
      
      
   
    * Biosphere
      
      
      BIOSPHERE
      
      The biosphere encompasses all life on Earth and extends from root systems
      to mountaintops and all depths of the ocean. It is critical for
      maintaining species diversity, regulating climate, and providing numerous
      ecosystem functions.
      
      
   
    * Cryosphere
      
      
      CRYOSPHERE
      
      The cryosphere encompasses the frozen parts of Earth, including glaciers
      and ice sheets, sea ice, and any other frozen body of water. The
      cryosphere plays a critical role in regulating climate and sea levels.
      
      
   
    * Human Dimensions
      
      
      HUMAN DIMENSIONS
      
      The human dimensions discipline includes ways humans interact with the
      environment and how these interactions impact Earth’s systems. It also
      explores the vulnerability of human communities to natural disasters and
      hazards.
      
      
   
    * Land Surface
      
      
      LAND SURFACE
      
      The land surface discipline includes research into areas such as shrinking
      forests, warming land, and eroding soils. NASA data provide key
      information on land surface parameters and the ecological state of our
      planet.
      
      
   
    * Ocean
      
      
      OCEAN
      
      This vast, critical reservoir supports a diversity of life and helps
      regulate Earth’s climate.
      
      
   
    * Solid Earth
      
      
      SOLID EARTH
      
      Processes occurring deep within Earth constantly are shaping landforms.
      Although originating from below the surface, these processes can be
      analyzed from ground, air, or space-based measurements.
      
      
   
    * Sun-Earth Interactions
      
      
      SUN-EARTH INTERACTIONS
      
      The Sun influences a variety of physical and chemical processes in Earth’s
      atmosphere. NASA continually monitors solar radiation and its effect on
      the planet.
      
      
   
    * Terrestrial Hydrosphere
      
      
      TERRESTRIAL HYDROSPHERE
      
      The terrestrial hydrosphere includes water on the land surface and
      underground in the form of lakes, rivers, and groundwater along with total
      water storage.
