Diamond’s 2-billion-year growth charts tectonic shift in early Earth’s carbon cycle
A study of tiny mineral 'inclusions' within diamonds from Botswana has shown that diamond crystals can take billions of years to grow. One diamond was found to contain silicate material that formed 2.3 billion years ago in its interior and a 250 million-year-old garnet crystal towards its outer rim,...

Low level of oxygen in Earth's middle ages delayed evolution for two billion years: A low level of atmospheric oxygen in Earth's middle ages held back evolution for 2 billion years, raising fresh questions about the origins of life on this planet
A low level of atmospheric oxygen in Earth's middle ages held back evolution for 2 billion years, raising fresh questions about the origins of life on this planet. New research explains how oxygen was trapped at such low levels.

Increasing factory and auto emissions disrupt natural cycle in East China Sea: Elements and metals fall from sky, affecting marine ecosystems, study finds
China's rapid ascent to global economic superpower is taking a toll on some of its ancient ways. For millennia, people have patterned their lives and diets around the vast fisheries of the East China Sea, but now those waters are increasingly threatened by human-caused, harmful algal blooms that cho...
