Description :
After outlining the background of the IGPB (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme), the AA. conclude that understanding of global change cannot be gained fully without reconstruction of earlier landscape processes, more sophisticated modelling of the dynamics of present-day landscapes, analysis of the causes and consequences of anthropogenic changes in specific regions, appraisal of the conditions in which societies may respond to the new knowledge of those changes, and a greatly enhanced geographic information system supported by detailed sites of studies.
