1. Man and the Geosphere ( pp . 307 347 ). 2. Organic carbon stored in the geosphere can remain there for millions of years. 3. The GeoSphere Image marks a milestone in cartographic history. 4. Carbon can leave the geosphere in several ways. 5. In that context, sometimes the term lithosphere is used instead of geosphere or solid Earth. 6. This programme, sponsored by ICSU, is the International Geosphere -Biosphere Programme ( IGBP ). 7. The net flux into the geosphere is even smaller at present, ~ 0.1 GtC / yr. 8. However, the integration of the Geosphere , Atmosphere and Biosphere under physiography was soon over taken by Davisian geomorphology. 9. Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere , the emergence of human cognition will fundamentally transform the biosphere. 10. Just as the biosphere transformed the geosphere , so the noosphere ( human intervention ) transformed the biosphere ( Vernadsky ).
