This book presents an integrated approach to the study of the
evolution of the Archean lithosphere, biosphere and atmosphere, and
as such it is a unique contribution to our understanding of the
early Earth and life. The structural and geochemical make-up of
both the oceanic and continental crust of the Archean Earth is
documented in some case studies of various cratons, and the
implications of the Phanerozoic plate and plume tectonic processes
for the Archean geology are discussed in several chapters in the
book. All chapters are process-oriented and data-rich, and reflect
the most recent knowledge and information on the Archean Earth. The
interdisciplinary approach of examining the evolution of the
Archean crust, oceans, and life that we adopt in this book sets it
apart from previous publications on Precambrian geology. The book
will be attractive to researchers in academia and in industry, and
to senior undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty in
earth and natural sciences.
Microbial systems in extreme environments and in the deep
biosphere may be analogous to potential life on other planetary
bodies and hence may be used to investigate the possibilities of
extraterrestrial life. This book examines the mode and nature of
links between geological processes and microbial activities and
their significance for the origin and evolution of life on the
Earth and possibly on other planets. This is a truly
interdisciplinary science with societal relevance.
