Resumen

The interfase between the biosphere and the noosphere: thinking the global spheres for sustainability in the Anthropocen era.The fate of humanity in the biosphere dominates the background of our knowledge and existence in the twenty-first century. Homo sapiens, as a conscious, self-reflexive and technical being, has produced a new kind of reality on our planet: the noosphere. The noosphere was described collectively by Vladimir I. Vernadsky, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Edouard Le Roy in the 1920s as a scientific approach connected to philosophy and anthropology. The noosphere is a product of the biosphere as transformed by human knowledge and action. The interface between the biosphere and the noosphere is the main effort to tackle the global spheres for sustainability, as proposed by Martin O'Connor. By approaching this interface we may understand that we live in the Anthropocene, a new geological epoch or era in earth history. Although global-scale human influence on the environment has been recognized since the 1800s, the term Anthropocene has recently become widely used in the global change research community, especially in the interdisciplinary Earth System Science. This research community is an expression of the noosphere seeking global sustainability.
