Early Mars Climate Models
It is often stated that Mars and Earth had similar environmental conditions early in their history and that life might therefore have originated on Mars as well as on Earth. However, the atmospheric conditions required to produce and sustain a warm, wet climate on early Mars remain uncertain. State-of-the-art greenhouse models predict global mean surface temperatures early in Mars' history that...
متن کاملAtmospheric composition and climate on the early Earth.
Oxygen isotope data from ancient sedimentary rocks appear to suggest that the early Earth was significantly warmer than today, with estimates of surface temperatures between 45 and 85 degrees C. We argue, following others, that this interpretation is incorrect-the same data can be explained via a change in isotopic composition of seawater with time. These changes in the isotopic composition cou...
متن کاملEarth system sensitivity inferred from Pliocene modelling and data
Quantifying the equilibrium response of global temperatures to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is one of the cornerstones of climate research. Components of the Earth’s climate system that vary over long timescales, such as ice sheets and vegetation, could have an important effect on this temperature sensitivity, but have often been neglected. Here we use a coupled atmo...
متن کاملA neoproterozoic snowball earth
Negative carbon isotope anomalies in carbonate rocks bracketing Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in Namibia, combined with estimates of thermal subsidence history, suggest that biological productivity in the surface ocean collapsed for millions of years. This collapse can be explained by a global glaciation (that is, a snowball Earth), which ended abruptly when subaerial volcanic outgassing rais...
متن کاملFrom Black Mud to Earth System Science: a Scientific Autobiography
This autobiography covers the past 55 years of my research in geochemistry. I try to show how chemical principles can be applied to a wide variety of geological problems, ranging from iron sulfide mineralogy, to carbonate chemistry in the oceans, to silicate mineral surface chemistry during weathering, to biogeochemical changes during early diagenesis, to plants and weathering, to models for th...
