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.


Current State of the Planet

      This page will eventually include links and resources to the current state of the planet in terms of : earth and space sciences (from asteroids to volcanoes), earth ecosystems and environmental issues, human populations, diseases and health problems, evolutionary issues, and the state of human societies and their problems and potentials.
