• Dating the rise of atmospheric oxygen (2004, methodology): “The recent discovery of mass independent fractionation (MIF) in sulphur isotopes has provided a new tool for tracing changes in the oxygen content of the atmospher”
• The anaerobic oxidation of methane; new insights in microbial ecology and biogeochemistry (2002, background): “Several recent studies suggest that concentrations of sulfate were significantly lower than those at present (Canfield et al. 2000; Farquhar et al. 2000) and that significant changes in the sulfur cycle occurred with the onset of the Proterozoic.”
• Spectral Evolution of an Earth-like Planet (2006, background): “From a variety of geological evidence, we know that significant concentrations of free O2 began to appear in the atmosphere (see e.g Cloud 1972; Farquhar et al. 2000, 2001; Kasting 2002; Pavlov et al. 2001; Ono et al. 2003).”
• Biogeochemical modelling of the rise in atmospheric oxygen (2006, background): “Analyses that show the presence of massindependent fractionation (MIF) of sulfur isotopes in Archean rocks (Farquhar et al., 2000; Farquhar & Wing, 2003; Ono et al., 2003; Zahnle et al., 2006) provide to many observers convincing evidence that the Archean atmosphere was globally weakly reducing.”
