Carbon is one of the most important elements on Earth. It is the basis of all life on the planet, is stored and mobilized throughout the Earth from core to crust, and is the basis of the energy sources that are so important to human civilization.
Catastrophic Pertubations To Earth’s Deep Carbon Cycle
October 2019, Vol. 15, No. 5
Carbon is one of the most important elements on Earth. It is the basis of all life on the planet, is stored and mobilized throughout the Earth from core to crust, and is the basis of the energy sources that are so important to human civilization. This issue explores the origins of carbon on Earth; the long-term carbon cycle; catastrophic and large-scale perturbations to Earth’s carbon cycle such as large igneous provinces and bolide impacts; carbon’s role in mass extinctions; and icehouse–greenhouse climate transitions in deep time. Deciphering the complex, and often faint, signals of distant carbon catastrophes requires a multidisciplinary effort and the most innovative analytical technology. This thematic collection comes at an important time in which carbon fluxes on Earth are changing rapidly. Society must understand the way in which the deep carbon-cycle on Earth works to secure a sustainable future.

Phosphates And Global Sustainability, April 2008, Vol. 4, No. 2
$20.00Phosphorus is a unique element: it is essential to the existence of all living forms, and as such controls biological productivity in many terrestrial and marine environments; but when in excess, it leads to uncontrollable biological growth and water-quality problems. This has become a common environmental issue, resulting from our careless use of phosphorus in agriculture, yet phosphate ore deposits, from which fertilizers are produced, are a finite natural resource.

Supervolcanoes, February 2008, Vol. 4, No. 1
$20.00Explosive super-eruptions from large volume, shallow magma systems lead to enormous and devastating pyroclastic flows, the formation of gigantic collapse calderas, and deposition of volcanic ash over continent-sized areas. Recognition that future eruptions from these “supervolcanoes” will undoubtedly have severe impacts on society—and perhaps on life itself—has led to recent public and media interest.
