Product Review
"This will be an great prequel for setting up an understanding of a more modern Earth as well as be invaluable to anyone teaching the history of the Earth. As with his previous text, this book is very well written in a hand that doesn't require one to be a geochemist to understand it, and that is worth plenty in and of itself." (
PALAIOS, April 2008)
Product Description
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 looks at 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.
