About this book

Language: German

Taking the approach of classical historical geology, the authors of this newly designed textbook focus on the biogenic and non-biogenic processes of earth development. Since the formation of our planet some 4.5 billion years ago, these complex processes take place on many levels, in many ways mutually influencing each other.

The authors bring together scientific and bioscientific perspectives, which help to understand the closely interwoven coevolution of the planet and its life in the geological past and the present. They document the essential processes of earth development. The "red thread" of the book is time. The most important methods and tools, such as oxygen isotope measurements or biostratigraphic methods, are explained. A particular focus of the book is the biosphere – its formation, evolution, and the effects of biological evolution on the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.

The textbook is designed for students of the geosciences from the 2nd year of study onwards, but should also serve students of related disciplines as an introduction to "system earth" and as a reference book. It will also be helpful for scientists and professional users of applied geosciences and geotechnical engineering. At the same time it is aimed at teachers of relevant geological and biological subjects, as well as interested lay people.

Summary in German:
Den Ansatz der klassischen Historischen Geologie aufgreifend, fokussieren die Autoren in diesem neu-konzipierten Lehrbuch auf die biogenen und nicht-biogenen Prozesse der Erdentwicklung. Seit der Entstehung unseres Planeten vor etwa 4,5 Milliarden Jahren finden diese komplexen und sich in vielerlei Hinsicht gegenseitig beeinflussenden Prozesse auf zahlreichen Ebenen statt.

Die Autoren führen erdwissenschaftliche und biowissenschaftliche Sichtweisen zusammen, da sich so die eng verwobene Koevolution von Planet und Leben in der geologischen Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart verstehen lässt. Sie dokumentieren die wesentlichen Prozesse der Erdentwicklung. Der „rote Faden“ des Buches ist die Zeit. Die wichtigsten Methoden und Werkzeuge, wie Sauerstoff-Isotopen-Messungen oder biostratigraphische Verfahren, werden erläutert. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt des Buches ist die Biosphäre – ihre Entstehung, Entwicklung und die Auswirkungen der biologischen Evolution auf Atmo-, Hydro- und Geosphäre.

Das Lehrbuch ist für Studierende der Geowissenschaften ab dem 2. Studienjahr konzipiert, soll aber auch Studierenden benachbarter Disziplinen als Einstieg in das „System Erde“ und als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Auch für Wissenschaftler und professionelle Nutzer der angewandten Geowissenschaften und Geotechnik wird es hilfreich sein. Zugleich spricht es Lehrer der geo- und bio-relevanten Fächer sowie interessierte Laien an.
