What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘An outstanding compilation of current knowledge about essentially all aspects of carbon within the Earth. The book results from 10 years of integrated research by an international group of leading scientists representing the fields of geoscience, biology, materials science, physics, and chemistry … The book is well illustrated, has a thorough index, and includes extensive references and classroom questions at the end of each chapter. This is an excellent resource for upper-level students along with professional scientists interested in any aspect of the Earth’s carbon system.’ M. E. McCallum, Choice‘When read as a complete unit, the book is more than the sum of its chapters. What shines through is the truly masterful work done by this collaborative of researchers in producing a text that is at once deeply technical and highly readable, simply yet beautifully presented, logically structured while touching on nearly every field of science and technology.’ Jake Ogata Bernstein, American Mineralogist
About The Author
Beth N. Orcutt
Beth Orcutt is a senior research scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, Maine. Her research focuses on understanding microscopic life at and below the seafloor. Having clocked over 600 days at sea on field missions, including dives to the seafloor in the Alvin Submersible, she is an expert in ocean exploration. Orcutt has received a Kavli Frontiers in Science fellowship and the 2018 Geobiology and Geomicrobiology Division post-tenure award from the Geological Society of America.
Isabelle Daniel is Professor of Earth Sciences at the Université Claude-Bernard Lyon I, France. She is also affiliated with the Laboratoire de Geologie de Lyon and chairs the Observatoire de Lyon. Her research focuses on geobiology and minerals, rocks, and fluids under extreme conditions. She investigates serpentinization and serpentine minerals, fluid-rock interactions at high pressure and microorganisms under extreme conditions. She is a fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America.
Rajdeep Dasgupta is Professor of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Rice University, Houston. His research focuses on deep processes of Earth and planetary interiors, which he pursues using geochemical and petrological approaches. He is a recipient of the James B. Macelwane Medal and Hisashi Kuno Award from the American Geophysical Union, the FW Clarke Medal from the Geochemical Society, the Faculty Early Career Award from NSF, the Packard Fellowship for Science and Engineering.
