It forms the chemical backbone for all essential organic molecules produced by living organisms. Carbonbased fuels supply most of society's energy, and atmospheric carbon dioxide has a huge impact on Earth's climate. This book provides a complete history of the emergence and development of the new interdisciplinary field of deep carbon science. It traces four centuries of history during which the inner workings of the dynamic Earth were discovered, and documents extraordinary scientific revolutions that changed our understanding of carbon on Earth forever: carbon's origin in exploding stars; the discovery of the internal heat source driving the Earth's carbon cycle; and the tectonic revolution. Written with an engaging narrative style and covering the scientific endeavours of more than a hundred pioneers of deep geoscience, this is a fascinating book for students and researchers working in Earth system science and deep carbon research"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Carbon. 650 0 $a Carbon cycle (Biogeochemistry) 650 0 $a Earth scientists $x History. 650 0 $a Historical geology. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Mitton, Simon, 1946- $t From core to crust $b 1. $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2021. $z 9781316997475 $w (DLC) 2020044711 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707012309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39492768AD6711EBBB9470C722ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
