Abstract
This chapter addresses whole earth monitoring, which is defined to include monitoring of geospheric and anthropogenic systems of systems and flows at all spatial levels, including cyberspace and outer space. Drivers for the creation of this system include public policy, knowledge creation, education and the development of the exposome. A plethora of technologies can be envisioned to converge on the whole earth platform; space-based, surface and subsurface, and health sensing technologies. To provide insights into the benefits of whole earth monitoring beyond those related to global environmental issues, an example of the relationships between whole earth monitoring and the theory and praxis of social work is presented. Development of the whole earth system envisioned herein poses numerous difficult policy issues, including personal privacy and system administration.
