Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs have always been Earth's hidden lungs — breathing life through the oxygen they cycle. But over the last century, that breath has grown shallow. A new study led by ...

Using a quantitative model, a research team of biogeochemists has provided a new view on the relationship between the earliest accumulation of oxygen in the atmosphere, arguably the most important ...

Rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs aren’t just scenic parts of our landscape—they’re also vital engines for life on Earth. These inland waters ‘breathe’ oxygen, just like we do. But a new study ...

This study is led by Dr. Lei Ding and Prof. Jianping Huang (College of Atmospheric Sciences, Lanzhou University). They found future terrestrial ecosystem will produce more oxygen for atmosphere when ...

Recent studies and warnings from NASA have sparked global concern about the long-term sustainability of Earth’s oxygen supply. The implications of a diminishing oxygen reserve are profound, ...

For the first time, researchers have managed to isolate and directly observe individual oxygen atoms inside liquid water, ...
