Carbon plays a fundamental role on Earth. It forms the chemical
backbone for all essential organic molecules produced by living
organisms. Carbon-based 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.
