Every breath you take contains a molecule of history
Every breath you take contains a molecule of history ‘Caesar’s Last Breath’ tells the stories of invisible gases. OUT OF BREATH Caesar’s last moments have inspired much scientific thinking, as well as a new book. ~~ VINCENZO CAMUCCINI/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Study shows planet's atmospheric oxygen rose through glaciers
Study shows planet's atmospheric oxygen rose through glaciers. A University of Wyoming researcher contributed to a paper that determined a "Snowball Earth" event actually took place 100 million years earlier than previously projected, and a rise in the planet's oxidation resulted from a number of different continents—including what is now Wyoming—that were once connected.

Giant 'Rivers in The Sky' Could Cause Vast, Extinction-Level Floods
Giant 'rivers in the sky' could cause vast, extinction-level floods. Atmospheric rivers have claimed their first victims. Atmospheric rivers - narrow corridors of concentrated moisture suspended in the atmosphere - were responsible for the mysterious mass die-off of wild Olympia oysters in San Francisco Bay in 2011, scientists have found.

Earth's Atmospheric Oxygen Levels Continue Long Slide
Atmospheric oxygen levels have declined over the past 1 million years, although not nearly enough to trigger any major problems for life on Earth, a new study finds.
