A global framework for the Earth: putting geological sciences in context
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Earth Science research aims to understand how the Earth works. Such research considers a system that spans scales from microscopic to many 1000's of km. To connect different parts of this immense system, we use geological frameworks, where different processes and features operate and combine. Thus, our research needs a standard global framework to compare assess a study's relevance. However, this framework does not formally exist, and our article proposes one that can systematically place research into a global geological context. This framework has the advantage of being useful for communicating to other disciplines. The framework is a fundamental tool for geoscience communication and for outreach, especially through geological heritage. Like our basic research, the concept of geoheritage evolves as our understanding of the Earth, and these dual changes can be explained with the global framework. Geoheritage is a global activity and it needs the global framework. A revision of the thematic study on geological World Heritage was called for in 2014, and this can be done with the input from the full geoscience community. The proposed framework can place any site in its geological environment, related to its lithospheric plate tectonic setting. The framework has a solid-earth bias (lithosphere), but includes all other spheres. Extraterrestrial influences, like solar variations and impacts are included. The framework is phenomenological, necessary to group the features that we see, but these provide evidence of processes that we can not see. The basic format is a table, a sketch of the Earth and a system diagram, the three complementary and most powerful ways of depicting a system. The framework allows any research site, area or subject to be set in the Earth's system, in a way that gives it context, allows comparisons and provide its significance. We suggest that it can be a template. We provide specific examples to illustrate how the framework works.
