• This will require
• Research that is more focused on Forcing rather
  than Impacts
• Research that is focused on Prediction rather
  than explanation
• New breakthroughs in our understanding at the
  boundaries between disciplines (including
  physical-chemical-biological-societal
  interfaces),
• Improved technologies to expand the time, space
  and parameter scales that we observe the
  ecosystem
• Changes in training the next generation of
  scientists
