atmospheric oxygen soon recovered again
as photosynthesis and weathering reached a new balance, at about 10 per cent of present - day levels, the oxidative weathering of sulphides on land filled the oceans with sulphate which created abundant food for a group of bacteria that filled the oceans with sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide) toxic to oxygen - loving lifeforms (delaying the development of eukaryotic plants and animals) and turned them «into stinking, stagnant

The choice of works is very deliberate with the exhibition broken down into seven themes: Beauty, Power and Space, which looks at each artist's engagement with the sublime, a theme central to English Romantic art but which survived through the modernist movement and is a key feature of Twombly's paintings; Atmosphere, which considers the ways in which the three artists paint land and sea through a filter of
atmospheric conditions; Naught so Sweet
as Melancholy, named after a phrase in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, where the theme of loss and memorialisation are central concerns; The Seasons which reflects upon the passage of time; Fire and
Water where all three artists evince the power of the elements; The Vital Force which brings together works of a sensual or erotic nature; and finally A Floating World where each artist contemplates mortality and external events that impact on their lives.

Re: # 19 — excellent points: that both (a) CaCO3 dissolution occurs above pH 7 (it depends on the H2C03, HCO3 -LRB--), and CO3 (2 --RRB- equilibrium which determines the saturation state of seawater), AND (b) that biogenic calcification is made increasingly difficult when the saturation state of surface
waters declines, which is what happens
as rising
atmospheric CO2 influences the chemistry of surface
waters.
In addition, many non-sulfur-based biogenic materials of the terrestrial environment play major roles
as water - and ice - nucleating aerosols; and the airborne presence of these materials should also be enhanced by rising levels of
atmospheric CO2.
