Do you know whether the trends you're seeing are global, or how strongly they would be influenced by local processes?
Hi Ken, We do believe that these signals are global, but we also acknowledge that in certain formations there are variations which likely indicate local processes (e.g., changes in nutrient supply). However, the first-order trends in our curve are recorded in samples from multiple time-equivalent formations that were not in close proximity to each other during deposition.

Thanks for this wonderful reconstruction of the Archean atmosphere. The pyrite formed in sediments. It is easy to link its element ratio to the redox status of sediments. Can you explain more about how it can be linked-to atmosphere O2 levels?
