The Global Carbon Cycle

Discover the essential geochemical driver of our climate system with The Global Carbon Cycle. Written by one of the world's leading climate experts, David Archer brings clarity to this complex subject in simple terms. Archer examines the carbon cycle on three different timescales and explores how the cycle interacts with the climate system. Learn how feedbacks in the carbon cycle stabilize Earth's climate and how on a human timescale, the carbon cycle has been dampening climate change. With a glossary of terms, suggestions for further reading, and explanations of equations, Archer also looks at open questions about the global carbon cycle.
