State of the Planet: Insights, Facts, Statistics, References
The aim of this section is to provide a reference base for knowledge about
our Planet Earth. By its nature such a task is interdisciplinary, and though
its focus is on the current 'State of the Earth', historical and geological
frameworks are also necessary to understand how the current state has resulted
from past events and forces.
