Volcanic forcing of early oxygen Nat. Geosci. (IF 15.7) Pub Date : 2025-05-13 Alison Hunt
The Archean Eon, spanning from approximately 4.0 to 2.5 billion years ago, was a time of atmospheric change on Earth. Prior to the Great Oxidation Event, the atmosphere generally had negligible molecular oxygen. Photoautotrophs, for example, cyanobacteria, likely evolved during this time and produced oxygen in small amounts through oxygenic photosynthesis, though this was then destroyed by reactions
