"Early Earth Systems" provides a complete history of the Earth from
its beginnings to the end of the Archaean. This journey through the
Earth's early history begins with the Earth's origin, then examines
the evolution of the mantle, the origin of the continental crust,
the origin and evolution of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and
ends with the origin of life.
Looks at the evidence for the Earth's very early differentiation
into core, mantle, crust, atmosphere and oceans and how this
differentiation saw extreme interactions within the Earth
system.
Discusses Archaean Earth processes within the framework of the
Earth System Science paradigm, providing a qualitative assessment
of the principal reservoirs and fluxes in the early Earth.
"The book would be perfect for a graduate-level or upper level
undergraduate course on the early Earth. It will also serve as a
great starting point for researchers in solid-Earth geochemistry
who want to know more about the Earth's early atmosphere and
biosphere, and vice versa for low temperature geochemists who want
to get a modern overview of the Earth's interior." " Geological
