Listening to the Earth Breathe
The next talk in the Castle Lecture Series will feature Dr. Elizabeth Cottrell, Director of the Global Volcanism Program in the Department of Mineral Sciences at the National Museum of Natural History.
“Listening to the Earth Breathe”
Our understanding of the deep Earth carbon cycle and its relationship to the surficial carbon cycle is in its infancy. We don’t even know whether the deep Earth is a carbon source or sink! Much of this uncertainty is due to the fact that volcanic CO2 emissions have never been directly quantified on a time-integrated global scale. Join Liz Cottrell and journey from the guts of a volcano to the sky.
