HOW EARTH LOOKS
How Earth looks is essentially how we as humans change Earth’s appearance and function, as illuminated by linkages between natural science and social science, in science partnerships that work across disciplines, geographies, and organizations. Here, we often use GIS to interactively and iteratively create and evaluate alternative (geo)designs to make better decisions, especially with land cover for land-use planning, green infrastructure planning, urban planning, and sustainability science.
