摘要
The Earth system science is a new research concept with which scientists can comprehensively understand the Earth and solve complex issues concerning resources,environment and the relationship between human and the Earth[1,2].Since the 1990s,international communities have launched research programs on the interactions between the six spheres including atmosphere,cryosphere,hydrosphere,biosphere,lithosphere and anthrosphere,such as LOICZ,SOLAS,iLEAPS.Those programs have greatly advanced our understanding of the Earth system.The Tibetan Plateau where the interaction of the six spheres is the strongest[3],is extremely sensitive to external perturbations and crucial to impact the surrounding regions,and has become one of the key regions of international Earth system science research.
