Motivated by an interdisciplinary Chapman Conference held in the Islands, this AGU volume provides cross-disciplinary collection of recent research into the origin and nature of ocean islands, from their deepest roots in Earth's mantle, to volcanism, surface processes, and the interface between geology and biodiversity.

Volume highlights include:

• Case studies in biogeographical, hydrological, and chronological perspective
• Understanding the connection between geological processes and biodiversity
• Synthesis of decades of interdisciplinary research in physical processes from surface to deep interior of the earth
• In-depth discussion of the concept of the island acting as a natural laboratory for earth scientists
• Integrated understanding of the Gal谩pagos region from a geological perspective

Collectively, The Gal谩pagos presents case studies illustrating the Gal谩pagos Archipelago as a dynamic natural laboratory for the earth sciences. This book would be of special interest to a multidisciplinary audience in earth sciences, including petrologists, volcanologists, geochronologists, geochemists, and geobiologists.
