Shaw1st ed. 2016.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2016.1 online resource (117 p.)SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,2191-5369Description based upon print version of record.3-319-21971-5 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Introduction -- Accretional history of Earth -- Processes of degassing -- Atmospheric processing of degassed volatiles -- Early Archean “geography” -- Degassing processes -- Prebiotic chemistry – why we should pay attention to this -- Eigen’s hypercycle and the emergence of life -- How the carbon-rich surface is key to emergence of life -- Evolution of Earth starting with a carbon-rich surface -- Implications of this model -- Conclusions.This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the chemical nature of the Earth’s early surface environment and how that led to the origin of life,including a detailed discussion of the likely process by which life emerged using as much quantitative information as possible. The emergence of life and the prior surface conditions of the Earth have implications for the evolution of Earth’s surface environment over the following 2-2.5 billion years. The last part of the book discusses how these changes took place and the evidence from the geologic record that supports this particular version of early and evolving conditions.SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,2191-5369GeobiologyPlanetary scienceEarthGeologyEnvironmental geologyEnvironmental geologyBiogeoscienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35010Planetologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010Popular Earth Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q22000Geoecology/Natural Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U21006Geobiology.Planetary science.Earth.Geology.Environmental geology.Environmental geology.Biogeosciences.Planetology.Popular Earth Science.Geoecology/Natural Processes.550Shaw George Hauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060794MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254105603321Earth's Early Atmosphere and Oceans, and The Origin of Life2515814UNINA
