  abstract: Today, the earth and life science are increasingly confronted with the puzzling nature of phenomena in an almost boundless network of relations, such as the complexity of phenomema with respect to their variability. Reflecting for instance the assessment of environmental risks from a complex perspective, we quickly discover the desire to deal with representative averages. We are thus nurturing the ideas of permanence which we equate with normality in contrast to disastrous exceptions. The quality of complexity and the continuity of change, however, can be well expressed synonomously by the fundamental multiple-scale character of phenomena. Therefore, we promote an enhanced discussion of the expanding scale concept in order to study geo-complexity.
