As the search for Earth-like exoplanets gathers pace, in order to
understand them, we need comprehensive theories for how planetary
atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well-known planetary
scientists, this text explains the physical and chemical principles
of atmospheric evolution and planetary atmospheres, in the context
of how atmospheric composition and climate determine a planet's
habitability. The authors survey our current understanding of the
atmospheric evolution and climate on Earth, on other rocky planets
within our Solar System, and on planets far beyond. Incorporating a
rigorous mathematical treatment, they cover the concepts and
equations governing a range of topics, including atmospheric
chemistry, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, and atmospheric
dynamics, and provide an integrated view of planetary atmospheres
and their evolution. This interdisciplinary text is an invaluable
one-stop resource for graduate-level students and researchers
working across the fields of atmospheric science, geochemistry,
planetary science, astrobiology, and astronomy.
