Treatise on Geochemistry, Third Edition, 12 volume set, is an invaluable resource for geoscientists and others seeking to understand the origin, evolution, and functioning of our inhabited world, in service of a sustainable future.

Our need to understand our planet is being reshaped by two ongoing scientific revolutions: the discovery of thousands of exoplanets and the advent of the Anthropocene. These seemingly disparate revolutions challenge us to understand what makes a planet habitable and how inhabited planets work. Geochemical knowledge and discovery are at the heart of this challenge, the crossroads where all geoscience subdisciplines meet - much as chemistry is often said to be the central science, geochemistry is the “central geoscience”. Treatise on Geochemistry fills the gap between mature and established geochemical knowledge and the rapidly evolving frontiers of the field.

Anbar, A D
Ariel Anbar is a scientist and educator interested in Earth's past and future as an inhabited world, and the prospects for life beyond. His group develops novel geochemical methods to study topics ranging from the chemical evolution of the atmosphere and oceans to human disease. Trained as a geologist and a chemist, Anbar is a President's Professor at Arizona State University on the faculty of the School of Earth & Space Exploration and the School of Molecular Sciences, and a Distinguished Sustainability Scholar in ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability. Anbar directed ASU's Astrobiology Program from 2009 - 2015 and directs the Center for Education Through Exploration. A graduate of Harvard and Caltech, he was on the faculty of the University of Rochester before moving to ASU in 2004. An author of >180 refereed papers, Anbar is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, the Geological Society of America, the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry, and is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. He is a recipient of the Donath Medal and the Arthur L. Day Medal of the Geological Society of America.
