流体地球科学与地球系统科学

近年来，地球系统科学逐渐成为地球科学的新趋势，但固体地球科学尚难于融入其中。其根本原因在于地球系统科学属于系统科学或复杂科学的组成部分，而固体地球科学其本质上属于理想科学的范畴，以研究线性地球过程为主，或者以理想科学的手法研究非线性地球过程。流体地球科学不仅研究地球的流体系统，也研究流体系统与固体系统的强和弱相互作用，是固体地球科学融入地球系统科学的唯一途径。

Fluid Earth Science and Earth System Science.

In recent years, Earth System Science (ESS) gradually becomes the new trend of the Earth Science. However, Solid Earth Science (SES) has hardly merged with it. This is because ESS is the application of system- or complex-science to the Earth Science, while SES is essentially a category of pure Earth Science, in which linear Earth processes are mainly concerned, or non-linear Earth processes are researched using pure Earth science approaches. Fluid Earth Science (FES), on the other hand, not only encompasses studies of the fluid system of the Earth, but also the strong and weak interactions between fluid and solid systems. Consequently, only FES can mediate the integration of SES into ESS.
