 nA data-driven perspective for studying high-dimensional land-surface proc
 esses\n\nUnderstanding environmental dynamics in the light of climate chan
 ge is a major scientific challenge. However\, the unprecedented growth and
  diversity of data streams is opening new perspectives to effectively stud
 y these globally coupled phenomena. In this talk I introduce the the conce
 pt of the “Earth System Data Cube” which allows us to effectively inve
 stigate environmental phenomena across variables\, space\, and time.\nI wi
 ll then exemplify the power of this concept by asking the question how do 
 we detect and interpret the effects of climate extremes on ecosystem funct
 ioning. Our findings bring to light a perspective for studying the human-e
 nvironment nexus during climate extremes and discuss the challenges ahead.
  In general\, I expect such data cube approaches to have great potential f
 or the joint interpretation of environmental observations from multiple so
 urces and models as well as seamlessly integrate into the latest developme
 nts in machine learning and model data integration. Overall\, the hope is 
 to support data-intensive research across disciplinary boundaries.\n
