Atmospheric Evolution on
Inhabited and Lifeless Worlds
As the search for Harth-like exoplancls ¿gathers pace. in order to
understand them, we need comprehensive theories for how plan-
etary atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well-known
planetary scientists, this text explains the physical and chemical
principles of atmospheric evolution and planetary atmospheres,
in the context of how atmospheric composition and climate
determine a planet's habitability. The authors survey our current
understanding of* the atmospheric evolution and climate on Karth.
on other rocky planets within our Solar System, and on planets
far beyond. Incorporating a rigorous mathematical treatment,
they cover the concepts and equations governing a range of
topics, including atmospheric chemistry, thermodynamics, radia-
tive transfer, and atmospheric dynamics, and provide an inte-
grated v։ew? of planetary' atmospheres and their evolution. 'I his
interdisciplinary text is an invaluable onostop resource tor
graduate-level students and researchers working across the fields
of atmospheric science, geochemistry, planetary science, astro-
biology. and astronomy.
David C. Catling is a Professor in Karth and Space Sciences nl the
University of Washington. Seattle, who studies planetary' sur-
faces. atmospheres, and habitability. He actively participates in
the research ill* NASA's Astrobiology Institute and is the author
of Astrobiofoti*y; A Very Short hitroditctiott (2013)- He lias taught
courses in planetary atmospheres, planetary geology* astrobiol-
ogy. and global environmental change at undergraduate and
graduate levels. He was also an investigator for NASA s Phoenix
Mars Pander, which successfully operated in the arctic of Mars
during 2(X)8.
James F. Kasting is an Kvan Pugh Professor of Cieoscicnces at The
Pennsylvania State University, and an acknowledged expert on
atmospheric and climate evolution. He is the author of the popu-
lar book. /low՝ to litui a Habitable Piatici (20 10) and coauthor of
the introductory textbook. Hie Karth System (3rd cdn. 2000). I ։\
Kasting has received numerous awards, including that of bellow
of the American Oeophysical Union, the Ocochcmical Society,
the International Society for the Study of the Origin of' Kite
(ISSOK). the American Academy for the Advancement of Sci-
ence. and the American Academy of Sciences. He received the
Oparin Medal from ISSOK in 2008. and the Stanley Miller Medal
from the National Academy of Sciences in 20 lb. |
