Decade of Discovery - a 60-Page Synthesis of Deep Earth Findings (IMAGE)
Caption
Before DCO, remarkably little was known about the physical, chemical, and biological properties of Earth's deep carbon. DCO scientists conducted field investigations across continents and deep into the ocean floor. They carried out field measurements in remote and inhospitable regions of the world: deep in the oceans, on the summit of active volcanoes, and in the deserts of the Middle East. Where instrumentation and models were lacking, DCO scientists developed new tools and new models to meet the challenge. Throughout these studies, DCO invested in the next generation of deep carbon researchers, students and early career scientists, who will carry on the tradition of exploration and discovery for decades to come.
