Stephen E. Kesler, Hiroshi Ohmoto 2006 The Geological Society of America
This GSA Memoir contains 17 papers about the Earth's early atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, from Hadean through Proterozoic time. Topics include the early evolution of life, formation of the continents, oxygenation of the atmosphere, interpretation of the banded iron formations, and more. This volume contains reports on current research questions from both sides of the aisle for iron and manganese formations, uranium paleoplacers and hydrothermal deposits, and exhalative sulfides and oxides.
