The rise of oxygen in Earth’s early ocean and atmosphere
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The initial increase of O2 in the atmosphere, its delayed build-up in the ocean, its increase to near-modern levels in the sea and air two billion years later, and its cause-and-effect relationship with life are among the most compelling stories in Earth’s history.
