Keywords:global environmental studies, interdisciplinary research, outreach

Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) solicits, develops, hosts, and funds fixed-term research projects on pressing areas of interaction between humanity and nature. RIHN promotes coordinated, problem-centered, context-specific, and multi-dimensional science. RIHN projects can last from three to five years; they are always multidisciplinary and employ multiple methodologies, and they are supposed to offer solutions to the problems under study. RIHN undertake an important task to accumulate their research products on transdisciplinary global environmental studies and resources for successors since almost all researchers leave RIHN after the end of their project."RIHN Archives" was developed in 2008 in order to accumulate and charge research products of RIHN research projects. It contains metadata of publications, reports, posters, handsouts and movies of seminars, evaluations, obtained data, maps, and so on. RIHN Archives database is open to public."RIHN Archives" itself is the record of transdisciplinary studies held in RIHN. Moreover, RIHN research projects have been conducted on objectives which should contribute to Future Earth. RIHN Archives must play an important role on planning new feasible studies to design futurable earth.
