Description
The 4.4-billion-year history of the oceans and their role in Earth's climate system.
It has often been said that we know more about the moon than we do about our own oceans. In fact, we know a great deal more about the oceans than many people realise. Scientists know that our actions today are shaping the oceans and climate of tomorrow— and that if we continue to act recklessly, the consequences will be dire. Eelco Rohling traces the 4.4-billion-year history of Earth's oceans while also shedding light on the critical role they play in our planet's climate system.
This timely and accessible book explores the close interrelationships of the oceans, climate, solid Earth processes, and life, using the context of Earth and ocean history to provide perspective on humankind's impacts on the health and habitability of our planet.
'Exhilarating reading, not least because Rohling's delight in his subject matter is so palpable.' - The Australian
'If you want to understand the planet and climate change, this book is for you.' - John R. Platt, EcoWatch
