“A Brief History of Earth”

The lecture will be based on the 2023 book A Brief History of Earth, by Andrew H. Knoll. As it turns out, I even know Andy Knoll, and helped supervise one of his students. Anyway, the topic fundamental concepts of how the earth works and how it has interacted with the Biological World and produced Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history, including fascinating Big Picture concepts about Earth History, including Meteorites, and Gaia and Geological perspective on climate change.
