Sinopsis

Climate Change and Life: The Complex Co-evolution of Climate and Life on Earth, and Beyond covers the critical tectonic and biogeochemical cycles that drive climate and shape the modern world. It compares the history of Earth to the histories of Venus and Mars, including new findings of Martian climate change. The book is multidisciplinary and will instruct readers on the range of extremes in climate and biogeochemical cycling that shape life on Earth. Topics covered include climate drivers on Earth (atmospheric gases, non-gaseous particulates in the atmosphere, etc.), various techniques to assess past climates, mass extension drivers, and future predictions.

The book takes a long view on climate change and evolution while also focusing on defining moments in Earth history where critical thresholds and events occur. Climate scientists, earth scientists, environmental scientists and researchers in all other areas related to climate change will find value in the research presented in this book.

  • Examines the link between climate change and extinctions in the geosphere, atmosphere and biosphere
  • Discusses how the ongoing influences of climate change will continue to shape a planet heading towards extremes
  • Includes author videos to further explain the topics and research discussed in the book

Climate Change and Life: The Complex Co-evolution of Climate and Life on Earth, and Beyond covers in broad brushes the critical tectonic and biogeochemical cycles that drive climate and shape the modern world. It also compares the history of Earth to the histories of Venus and Mars, including new findings of Martian climate change. Climate Change and Life is multidisciplinary and will instruct readers on the range of extremes in climate and biogeochemical cycling that shape life on Earth. Topics covered include climate drivers on Earth (atmospheric gases, non-gaseous particulates in the atmosphere, etc.), various techniques to assess past climates, mass extension drivers, as well as predictions about the future and climate change mitigation strategies. Climate Change and Life takes a long view on climate change and evolution while also focusing on the defining moments in Earth history where critical thresholds and events occur. Climate scientists, earth scientists, environmental scientists, researchers in all other areas of science that are related to climate change will find value in the research presented in this book.
