Description
The interactions of biogeochemical cycles influence and maintain our climate system. Land use and fossil fuel emissions are currently
impacting the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur on land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans.
This edited volume
brings together 27 scholarly contributions on the state of our knowledge of earth system interactions among the oceans, land, and atmosphere.
A unique feature of this treatment is the focus on the paleoclimatic and paleobiotic context for investigating these complex interrelationships.
Audience
Advanced students and researchers in the fields of earth science, biology, environmental chemistry, physics, meteorology, engineering,
mathematical modeling, environmental policy, and related socioeconomic sciences.
