Oxygen and Life in the Precambrian
The December 2006 issue of Geobiology is a collection of papers focusing on the history of Earth's biogeochemistry, from the earliest sedimentary rocks in Greenland to the late Proterozoic. The rise of atmospheric oxygen provides a thematic link.
The papers in this issue, edited by David Catling and Roger Buick of NAI's University of Washington Alumni Team, grew out of a session of the Earth System Processes 2 conference in Calgary, Canada, 8–11 August 2005, sponsored by the NAI. [Source: NAI Newsletter]
