Require cooperation and expertise from engineering, social and natural sciences. Earth systems engineering is an emerging area of multidisclinary study that takes a holistic view of natural and human system interactions to better understand complex systems. It seeks to develop methods and tools that enable technically sound and ethically wise decisions.

Engineering and Environmental Challenges

Present the proceedings of a National Academy of Engineering public symposium on Earth systems engineering.
