Inhaltsangabe

The Committee was established at the request of several US government agencies to frame some of the great intellectual challenges inherent in the study of Earth and other planets, as a complement to the many studies looking at research priorities that focus on the next steps to take, rather than the far destinations to be sought. They explore the large areas of the origins of Earth and other planets, the Earth's interior, how and why the planet is habitable, and hazards and resources. Specific issues include how life began, why Earth has plate tectonics and continents, how life and Earth have shaped each other, and how fluid flow and transport affect the human environment. Within each chapter, subsections ask even more detailed questions. Some degree of familiarity with scientific thinking and terminology makes the reading easier, but the treatment is generally aimed at policy makers. No index is provided.
