How ocean chemistry helped life keep breathing

Researchers at the University of California, Riverside report that shifts in ocean chemistry played a key role in maintaining Earth's oxygen levels, allowing complex life to keep breathing over geological time. The study, covered by Phys.org, explains how chemical processes in the oceans helped regulate the planet's atmosphere across Earth's history.

Why now: A new study linking ocean chemistry to Earth's oxygen supply has just been published and is drawing media attention.
