Description for The Global Carbon Cycle
Paperback. Presents an introduction to the global carbon cycle. This book tells about the many ways the global carbon cycle is woven into our climate system. It looks at the carbon cycle on three different time scales, describing how the cycle interacts with climate in very distinct ways in each. Series: Princeton Primers in Climate. Num Pages: 216 pages, 25 line illus. BIC Classification: PHVG; RBP; RNPG. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 129 x 203 x 14. Weight in Grams: 224.
"The Global Carbon Cycle" is a short introduction to this essential geochemical driver of the Earth's climate system, written by one of the world's leading climate-science experts. In this one-of-a-kind primer, David Archer engages readers in clear and simple terms about the many ways the global carbon cycle is woven into our climate system. He begins with a concise overview of the subject, and then looks at the carbon cycle on three different time scales, describing how the cycle interacts with climate in very distinct ways in each. On million-year time scales, feedbacks in the carbon cycle stabilize Earth's climate ... Read more
