Explanation: Over the past century, humans have accelerated the use of natural resources such as fossil fuels, old growth forests and groundwater. This has warmed the ocean and atmosphere, changed their chemistry and caused extra runoff from land. From analysis of data collected by satellites and sensors monitoring Earth for the past few decades, we know that these multiple stressors impact microscopic life in the ocean as well as airborne particles and clouds, but we do not know to what extent or whether changes will reach a tipping point. The future Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission will measure and help resolve the complex role of these interrelated Earth systems and their impact on fisheries, ocean chemistry and nutrients, climate feedbacks and human health.
