Description: The development of isotopic age determination methods and stable isotopic tracers to paleo-climate investigations, including oxygen (δ18O), sulphur (δ33S) and carbon (δ13C), integrated with Sedimentological records and organic and biological proxies studies, allows vital insights into the composition of early atmosphere–ocean-biosphere system, suggesting low atmospheric oxygen, high levels of greenhouse gases (CO2, CO, CH4 and likely H2S), oceanic anoxia and high acidity, limiting habitats to single-cell methanogenic and photosynthesizing autotrophs. Increases in atmospheric oxygen have been related to proliferation of phytoplankton in the oceans, likely about ~2.4 Ga (billion years-ago) and 0.7–0.6 Ga.
