DESCRIPTION:Complex systems in driven nonequilibrium situations often cons
 ist of a superposition of several dynamics on well-separated time scales. 
 Sometimes the parameters of the system fluctuate as well\, on a much large
 r time scale than the local dynamics. The resulting marginal distributions
  typically have fat tails\, which can be understood by superstatistical te
 chniques. After a short review of the field I will concentrate on some exa
 mples relevant for planet earth: The dynamics of tracer particles in turbu
 lent flows\, the surface temperature statistics at various locations on pl
 anet earth\, and the dynamics of sea levels. \n
