How Berkeley Lab experts simulated the leak and are helping to shape safety regulations in the wake of the Aliso Canyon disaster

Geowissenschaftler der Universität Tübingen finden in fast drei Milliarden Jahre alten Ablagerungen im südafrikanischen Pongolabecken Hinweise auf frühe sauerstoffproduzierende Bakterien
In der frühen Erdgeschichte, vor mehreren Milliarden Jahren, war Sauerstoff höchstens in Spuren in der Atmosphäre und in den Ozeanen vorhanden. Heutige luftatmende Lebewesen hätten unter solchen Bedingungen nicht existieren können. Den Umschwung bewirkten Fotosynthese betreibende Bakterien, die Sauerstoff als Abfallprodukt hinterließen – und das in gigantischen Mengen. Hinweise auf die erste globale Zunahme des Sauerstoffanteils in der Atmosphäre liefern 2,5 Milliarden Jahre alte Ablagerungen verschiedener Kontinente. (more…)
