At the end of the last century, Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) mentioned that ‘the next century will be the century of complexity’. Indeed, many contemporary problems faced by Earth sciences and society are complex (e.g. climate change, disaster risk, energy and water security, and preservation of oceans). These problems are mainly related to dynamic processes within […]

Marie Tharp’s transatlantic profiles with her annotations of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and its central valley. Acknowledgement: US Library of Congress. Simon Mitton. In this post on “deep carbon science” –– a fascinating research field in the geosciences –– I recount the research of Marie Tharp (1920–2006) a great pioneer in visualizing the geology of the […]

Hello and welcome to my blog on “deep carbon science” –– a fascinating research field in the geosciences. My history of deep carbon science gives lively accounts of 150 scientists who contributed to the development of this new field over a period of four centuries. I write history by telling stories about interesting people. Here’s […]

If you want to understand how it went from being called the “Dead Sea” to the world’s most important “Super Basin”, read the new book Gulf of Mexico Sedimentary Basin: Depositional Evolution and Petroleum Applications. This is the first comprehensive study of the basin and its petroleum endowment in almost 40 years. With an estimated […]

Computer generated forecasts play an important role in our daily lives, for example, predicting weather or economies. Forecasts combine computational models of relevant dynamical processes with measured data. Errors are always present through incomplete observations plus imperfections in the model, so forecasts must be constantly calibrated with new data. In the geosciences, this is called […]
