Earth's Flips of State

The Co-Evolution of Life and Planet

The history of the planet Earth has had periods of being in a distinct state with intervening critical transitions that see it 'flip' between states, for example between a world without atmospheric oxygen to one with a trace of it. These key transitions have been driven by a biological evolutionary innovations which interact with the Earth system. All of these critical transitions feature a number ... Leer más
