Uranium in iron formations and the rise of atmospheric oxygen

CA Partin, SV Lalonde, NJ Planavsky, A Bekker… - Chemical …, 2013 - Elsevier
The concept of the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), during which atmospheric oxygen rose
precipitously and perhaps to near-modern levels around 2.4–2.1 billion years ago (Ga), has …

A model for the oceanic mass balance of rhenium and implications for the extent of Proterozoic ocean anoxia

AI Sheen, B Kendall, CT Reinhard, RA Creaser… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2018 - Elsevier
