  \nA data-driven perspective for studying high-dimensional land-surface p
 rocesses  \n \nUnderstanding environmental dynamics in the light of clima
 te change is a major scientific challenge. However\, the unprecedented gro
 wth and diversity of data streams is opening new perspectives to effective
 ly study these globally coupled phenomena. In this talk I introduce the co
 ncept of the “Earth System Data Cube” which allows us to effectively i
 nvestigate environmental phenomena across variables\, space\, and time.\n\
 nI will then exemplify the power of this concept by asking the question ho
 w do we detect and interpret the effects of climate extremes on ecosystem 
 functioning. Our findings bring to light a perspective for studying the hu
 man-environment nexus during climate extremes and discuss the challenges a
 head. In general\, I expect such data cube approaches to have great potent
 ial for the joint interpretation of environmental observations from multip
 le sources and models as well as seamlessly integrate into the latest deve
 lopments in machine learning and model data integration. Overall\, the hop
 e is to support data-intensive research across disciplinary boundaries.
