change and earth system science. Examples of relevant research areas
include but are not limited to:

- The global carbon cycle, including connections to the deep Earth,
weathering, and carbon sequestration;
- Paleoclimatology, isotope or organic geochemistry, and other
studies of environmental change records;
- Studies of earth materials and elements related to climate and the
evolution of life; and
- Earth science studies of modern environmental change.
