Systems: minimize and adjust the efects of global and environmental change (earth-system. Engeineering & managing earth systems: all above improve standard of living. Earth systems engineering: the world as human arifact. Managing the earth"s complex systems and their dynamics is the next great challenge for the engineering profession - brad allenby. Study tree rings, look at the years and you can ind out the how old it is (count inwards to outwawrds) Width of tree rings: relates to tree climate. Can drill a hole of tree instead of killing/chopping down tree.
