Anomalous fractionations of sulfur isotopes during thermochemical sulfate reduction

Y Watanabe, J Farquhar, H Ohmoto - Science, 2009 - science.org
Anomalously fractionated sulfur isotopes in many sedimentary rocks older than 2.4 billion
years have been widely believed to be the products of ultraviolet photolysis of volcanic sulfur …

Geochemical evidence for terrestrial ecosystems 2.6 billion years ago

Y Watanabe, JEJ Martini, H Ohmoto - Nature, 2000 - nature.com
Microorganisms have flourished in the oceans since at least 3.8 billion years (3.8 Gyr) ago 1
, 2 , but it is not at present clear when they first colonized the land. Organic matter in some …

Sulphur isotope evidence for an oxic Archaean atmosphere

H Ohmoto, Y Watanabe, H Ikemi, SR Poulson… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
The presence of mass-independently fractionated sulphur isotopes (MIF-S) in many sedimentary
rocks older than ∼2.4 billion years (Gyr), and the absence of MIF-S in younger rocks, …

Evidence from massive siderite beds for a CO2-rich atmosphere before ~ 1.8 billion years ago

H Ohmoto, Y Watanabe, K Kumazawa - Nature, 2004 - nature.com
It is generally thought that, in order to compensate for lower solar flux and maintain liquid
oceans on the early Earth, methane must have been an important greenhouse gas before ∼…
