    Millions of Boreal Shield Lakes can be used to Probe Archaean Ocean Biogeochemistry

    Life originated in Archaean oceans, almost 4 billion years ago, in the absence of oxygen and the presence of high dissolved iron concentrations. Early Earth oxidation is marked globally by extensive banded iro...
