Climate, oxygen, and the future of marine biodiversity
The ocean enabled the diversification of life on Earth by adding O2 to the atmosphere, yet
marine species remain most subject to O2 limitation. Human industrialization is intensifying …

Late Paleozoic oxygenation of marine environments supported by dolomite U-Pb dating
Understanding causal relationships between evolution and ocean oxygenation hinges on
reliable reconstructions of marine oxygen levels, typically from redox-sensitive geochemical …

Co‐evolution of early Earth environments and microbial life
Two records of Earth history capture the evolution of life and its co-evolving ecosystems with
interpretable fidelity: the geobiological and geochemical traces preserved in rocks and the …

Speculations on the Paleozoic legacy of Gondwana amalgamation
Using Gondwana as an example, we show how the geological record can be interrogated to
detect significant changes in mantle convection patterns at critical junctures in Earth's …

Late Ordovician ironstone and its relation to ocean redox instability, climate and glaciation
Abstract The Upper Ordovician (Katian) Neda Formation, a phosphatic ironstone, records a
widespread but short‐lived shift to ferruginous waters across a vast epicontinental area …

A Bayesian analysis of technological intelligence in land and oceans
Current research indicates that (sub) surface ocean worlds essentially devoid of subaerial
landmasses (eg, continents) are common in the Milky Way and that these worlds could host …

Transport of 'Nama'‐type biota in sediment gravity and combined flows: Implications for terminal Ediacaran palaeoecology
ABSTRACT The lower Nama Group in southern Namibia contains trace fossils and soft‐
bodied and biomineralized macro‐organisms from the terminal Ediacaran Period (ca 550 to …
