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 an extract from my account of the research of the great chemist Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (1743–1794). At the end of the eighteenth century, the quest to understand how living organisms interact with atmospheric gases dominated the research frontier of carbon science in France. Understanding the science that linked coal, life, and the carbon cycle, was central to Lavoisier’s work on what we know as Earth’s carbon cycle. In 1774 he noted that the respiration of animals (breathing) and combustion were processes that produced carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That intriguing thought, connecting the phenomenon of life to the el ....
