人类活动作为主要驱动力正在以前所未有的规模和速度改变着地球表层系统原有的演化速率和方式，从根本上改造着地表系统的形貌、构成和生境，由此带来的资源流失与减少、生态系统多样性的降低与退化、恶劣极端气候事件和自然灾害的频发等等地球表层系统变化趋势，正极大地影响着当前人类的持续发展与未来命运。为应对这些全球性挑战和实现人类可持续发展，我们需要建立、发展和完善地球系统科学，将表层地质系统、生态系统和人类社会作为一个有机整体进行跨学科交叉融合研究，认识人类社会-自然系统耦合过程和发展演化的内在动力学及机制，探究表层地球系统的适应性、脆弱性和可恢复性，为维持人类福祉与自然环境之间得失平衡和促进人与自然和谐共生提供基础理论和科学依据。天津大学地球系统科学学院2022年获批全国首个地球系统科学新兴交叉一级学科博士/硕士学位点。学院以发展地球系统科学理论、服务人类社会发展为使命，将地球系统科学国际前沿研究与可持续发展目标和国家/地方需求相结合，运用系统科学的思维方法，探究表层地球系统过程、圈层相互作用及与全球变化互作原理与机制，为发展地球系统科学理论，构建地球系统管理框架体系，培养未来地球系统研究和管理高层次人才，促进人与自然共生和生态-社会可持续发展做出贡献。
为推动地球系统科学发展，兹定于2025年4月10-13日在天津召开第五届表层地球系统科学国际学术会议。会议以线上线下相结合方式进行，广邀国内外知名专家，围绕地球系统科学前沿领域，聚焦地球系统观测和模拟、圈层相互作用和全球变化以及可持续发展理论和实践等核心问题，共同探讨地球系统科学和可持续发展研究热点，共享最新学术成果，促进地球系统科学多学科交叉融合研究交流和学科发展。
我们诚挚地邀请您注册参加此次盛会。
Human activities are profoundly altering the Earth's surface system at an unprecedented scale and speed, fundamentally transforming its morphology, composition, and habitat. The resulting consequences, including resource depletion, ecosystem degradation, increased extreme weather events, and natural disasters, are exerting severe impact on the current and future sustainable development of humanity. To address these global challenges, we need to establish, develop, and improve Earth system science, conducting holistic and cross-disciplinary research on the surface geological system, ecosystem, and human society. Through a deep understanding of the intrinsic dynamics and mechanisms governing human-natural system interactions, we can explore the Earth's surface system's capacity for adaptation, vulnerability, and resilience. This knowledge will provide the essential theoretical framework and empirical data to balance human well-being with environmental sustainability and promote a harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
The School of Earth System Science at Tianjin University is approved to launch the first interdisciplinary doctoral degree program in Earth System Science in China. By combining cutting-edge research with sustainable development goals at both national and local levels, the school investigates the processes and interactions within the Earth's surface system in the context of global change. The goal is to develop Earth system science theory, construct an Earth system management framework, cultivate high-level talent for future Earth system research and management, and promote the coexistence of humans and nature and ecological and social sustainable development.
To advance the Earth system science, Tianjin university is proud to announce that The School of Earth System Science will host the 5th International Symposium on Surface Earth System Science in Tianjin from April 10th to 13th, 2025. The conference will be held in a hybrid format, combining both online and offline participation, and will bring together distinguished scholars from around the world.
Welcome to join us.
