Preface

In 2008, some 60 early-career Earth scientists met to explore the dynamic interactions of life and its landscape—in essence the interplay between biological and physical Earth surface processes. Topics ranged in scale from sand grains to continents, and enthusiasm for all ran high. This National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored Meeting of Young Researchers in Earth Science (MYRES) readily achieved its aim of interdisciplinary community building. New teams of collaborators forged during the workshop continued to meet and communicate throughout the year, generating bold ideas for research that bridged multiple fields. Many of their ideas were so unconstrained by conventional disciplinary boundaries that the researchers were hard-pressed to identify the appropriate agencies and programs that might fund such investigations. Indeed, what made the meeting so successful was the rare opportunity for scientists from different fields, who might not go to the same sessions at scientific meetings or even perhaps the same meetings, to interact and explore topics with fresh, multifaceted perspectives. These perspectives came from individual expertise honed in climate science, ecology, geochemistry, geography, geomorphology, hydrology, soil science, and other disciplines, but the power of the new ideas drew from the merging of perspectives to scrutinize compelling scientific questions.

The Committee on Challenges and Opportunities in Earth Surface Processes, also comprising scientists from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds (Appendix A), had a somewhat similar experience that began earlier, in late 2007, and extended over an 18-month period. Convened by the National Research Council at the request of NSF to assess the current state of the field of Earth surface processes, the 10 committee members, aided by community input (Appendix B), began immediately to identify fundamental, overarching scientific questions. What controls, for example, how resilient landscapes are to climate, tectonic, and land-use changes? What can we learn about possible future Earth conditions from Earth’s past, as recorded in its landscapes, sediments, and soils? How do ecosystems and landscapes coevolve, and how can landscapes be restored or redesigned in sustainable

ways? The intellectual excitement of these and other ideas presented in this report lies in their integrative nature and potential to bring together scientists from diverse fields who share in common the object of study, the Earth’s surface.

The committee identified the opportunities as well as the rate-limiting challenges for making significant research advances in understanding the form, composition, properties, function, and evolution of Earth’s surface. Two of the most significant research opportunities are obvious: (1) remarkable new technologies exist for exploring Earth’s surface and for dating sediments, landforms, and soils; and (2) dramatic changes have occurred on many parts of the planet in response to a variety of anthropogenic activities. The most significant technical challenges include a dearth of sites with instrumentation for long-term (decadal or more) monitoring of basic Earth surface characteristics and processes, such as soil moisture and temperature, eolian dust transport, sediment transport, or water chemistry and stream flow.

The most fundamental intellectual challenges are that the state of the science of Earth surface processes has been reliant primarily upon empirical approaches, and that the interdisciplinary communities needed to advance the science are nascent. Although empirical approaches are necessary and have produced some notable achievements, quantitative (mechanistic) theories and approaches are needed to describe the processes that shape and alter the composition of Earth’s surface. With combined approaches and disciplinary perspectives, we can make more confident predictions of how landscapes respond to interacting changes. If climate change brings, say, an increase in permafrost melting, will thawed soils deliver amplified sediment and nutrient pulses to streams and coastal water bodies? If so, what feedbacks might occur as biogeochemical fluxes are altered?

The landscape, its evolution, and its role as the arena for life and human activity—although intricate—are becoming comprehensible and even predictable as we work across intellectual barriers that have fragmented landscape research in the past. We imagine how the study of Earth surface processes could be transformed if events such as the MYRES workshop were commonplace, and if the climate scientists, ecologists, geographers, geomorphologists, geochemists, and others who study Earth surface processes were to have increasing opportunities to meet, share their disciplinary strengths, generate new ideas, and investigate compelling scientific problems. Our current situation—one of concern about landscapes on the edge of potentially detrimental and irreversible change—could shift to one of optimism about science and society “on the edge” of new understanding of landscape change and processes at Earth’s surface.

This vision goes beyond merely the hope for more frequent and sustained interactions among scientists in presently fragmented disciplines that focus upon different aspects of landscape processes. Acquisition and management of multiple types of data are needed, as are the development and support of new tools for exploring Earth’s surface and establishing the nature of its past environmental states.

This report is intended to inspire scientists from both the natural and the social sciences to establish broad-reaching research agendas to solve some of the key research questions about Earth surface processes operating in the past, present, or future. The report is equally supportive of the basic, discipline-specific research sponsored by NSF and practiced at multiple federal agencies. Discipline-specific research and expertise are the foundation for productive interdisciplinary endeavors, and both types of research are necessary parts of a national research support structure.

This is an auspicious time for the study of Earth surface processes, with a rapidly growing base of new scientists, a wealth of relatively unexplored scientific questions, and a new cache of powerful investigative tools. The timing also is promising in that NSF’s Geovision document is directed partly toward new, interdisciplinary initiatives. We hope that the present report can be synchronized with some of the goals promoted by NSF in the Geovision document. This report also is timely, given the changes in Earth’s surface as a result of human and natural impacts. The committee is optimistic that the ideas and content of this report will promote a collective effort to address a number of societally relevant and scientifically compelling challenges in the field of Earth surface processes. New and enhanced interdisciplinary partnerships, coordinated monitoring and observation of the Earth’s near-surface systems and new scientific theories for processes of weathering, erosion, transport, and deposition of Earth surface materials could transform the field, ultimately leading to much greater capacity to predict how Earth’s surface will change in the future.

Working with the scientists on this committee and hearing from colleagues who represented numerous agencies and universities throughout our deliberations provided many days of intellectual enjoyment. I thank the committee for its dedication, stamina, and hard work. The committee is grateful to Elizabeth Eide, the project study director, for her extraordinary abilities in many aspects, but in particular for her capacity to meld numerous comments and feedback into meaningful, thorough compilations that guided us as we developed the report. The committee also benefited from the dedication and excellence of research associates Jared Eno and Nicholas Rogers, and program associate Courtney Gibbs. As chair, I offer a personal note of thanks to all of these fine individuals.

During geologic spans of time, Earth's shifting tectonic plates, atmosphere, freezing water, thawing ice, flowing rivers, and evolving life have shaped Earth's surface features. The resulting hills, mountains, valleys, and plains shelter ecosystems that interact with all life and provide a record of Earth surface processes that extend back through Earth's history. Despite rapidly growing scientific knowledge of Earth surface interactions, and the increasing availability of new monitoring technologies, there is still little understanding of how these processes generate and degrade landscapes.

Landscapes on the Edge identifies nine grand challenges in this emerging field of study and proposes four high-priority research initiatives. The book poses questions about how our planet's past can tell us about its future, how landscapes record climate and tectonics, and how Earth surface science can contribute to developing a sustainable living surface for future generations.
