Traditionally biological and chemical approaches to understanding carbon dynamics in the geological past have been AD SPACEconsidered in relative isolation. For the 2019 Lyell Meeting we will to bring together a broad spectrum of scientists that address the big picture of carbon in the Earth system, drawing on expertise in Convenors: palaeontology, geochemistry, palaeobotany, atmospheric Barry Lomax (Nottingham University) processes, deep-Earth processes, and anthropogenic WT Fraser (Oxford Brookes University) impacts.
