Caption
Based at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington DC, with $50 million in core support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation multiplied many times by additional investments worldwide, 1,200 multidisciplinary researchers from 55 nations explored Earth's fundamental history and workings, including:
- How carbon moves between Earth's interior, surface and atmosphere
- The limits to Earth's deep microbial life
- Where Earth's deep carbon came from, how much exists and in what forms
- How life began
They investigated Earth's interior in several ways, producing 1,400 peer-reviewed papers while pursuing 268 projects.
