Carbon is one of the most important elements of our planet, and ninety percent of it resides inside Earth's interior. This book summarizes ten years of research by scientists involved in the Deep Carbon Observatory, a global community of 1200 scientists. It is a comprehensive guide to carbon inside Earth, including its quantities, movements, forms, origins, changes over time, and impact on planetary processes. Leading experts from a variety of fields, including geoscience, biology, chemistry, and physics, provide exciting new insights into the interconnected nature of the global carbon cycle, and explain why it matters to the past, present, and future of our planet. With end-of-chapter problems, illustrative infographics, full-color images, and access to online models and datasets, it is a valuable reference for graduate students, researchers, and professional scientists interested in carbon cycling and Earth system science. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Depuis l'expédition du HMS Challenger (1872-1876), notre vision de l'océan a totalement changé. L'Homme réalise qu'il joue un rôle clé dans la régulation du climat et de la biodiversité et qu'il est également, grâce à ses ressources biologiques et minières, un pourvoyeur de services pour l'humanité. Océans s'appuie sur les données issues des nouveaux outils océanographiques et satellitaires, acquises lors de programmes internationaux interdisciplinaires. Il décrit les processus qui contrôlent le fonctionnement de l'océan aux différentes échelles spatiales et temporelles. Après avoir considéré l'évolution des concepts en océanographie physique, chimique et biologique, cet ouvrage profile l'avenir d'un océan plus chaud, acidifié et moins oxygéné. Il montre comment une vision de l'océan à différentes échelles modifie sa compréhension. Enfin, il présente les défis auxquels est confronté l'océan en matière d'exploitation des ressources biologiques et minières dans le cadre d'un développement durable, et de régulation du changement climatique.

The book represents a collection of papers presented at VI International Symposium "Biogenic - abiogenic interactions in natural and anthropogenic systems" that was held on 24-27 September 2018 in Saint Petersburg (Russia). Papers in this book cover a wide range of topics connecting with interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components in lithosphere, biosphere and technosphere. The main regarding topics are following: methods for studying the interactions between biogenic and abiogenic components; geochemistry of biogenic-abiogenic systems; biomineralization and nature-like materials and technologies; medical geology; biomineralogy and organic mineralogy; biomineral interactions in soil; biodeterioration of natural and artificial materials; biomineral interactions in extreme environment.
