Increasing rate of species extinction in the present day will lead to a
huge biodiversity crisis; eventually, this will lead to the paucity of
non-renewable resources of energy making our Earth unsustainable in
future. To save our mother planet from this crisis, studies need to be
performed to discover abundant new fossil sites on Earth for continued
access to oil-rich locations. Most importantly, a holistic approach is
necessary in solving the present problem of biodiversity loss. This book
presents newly developed quantitative models in understanding the
biodiversity, evolution and ecology of extinct organisms. This will
assist future earth scientists in understanding the natural and
anthropogenic causes behind biodiversity crisis and ecosystem collapse.
In addition, this study would be of great interest to exploration
geologists and geophysicists in potentially unraveling natural resources
from our sustainable Earth.
