- Provides a complete history of the Earth from its beginnings to
the end of the Archaean period.
- Examines the Earth's origin, the evolution of the mantle, the
origin of the continental crust, the origin and evolution of the
Earth's atmosphere and oceans, and the origin of life.
- Looks at the evidence for the Earth's very early
differentiation into core, mantle, crust, atmosphere and oceans and
how this differentiation saw extreme interactions within the Earth
system.
- Discusses Archaean Earth processes within the framework of the Earth System Science paradigm, providing a qualitative assessment of the principal reservoirs and fluxes in the early Earth.
