Want an oxygen-rich atmosphere? Stuff oxygen’s friends in the mantle.
A new study suggests that changes in the subduction of tectonic plates may be linked to increases in Earth's oxygen levels. This process, where plates sink into the Earth's interior, appears to correlate with the timing of oxygen jumps. The research indicates that the chemistry of the solid Earth played a role alongside biological processes in building up the oxygen-rich atmosphere.

Want an oxygen-rich atmosphere? Stuff oxygen’s friends in the mantle.
Planet Earth has some pretty great qualities going for it. (Negative reviews mostly revolve around the staff and clientele.) Pretty high on the list of positives is a richly oxygenated atmosphere. But that’s something that evolved and built up over a couple billion years, only eventually resulting in a world conducive to animal life like us. Scientists have many ideas about what could have caused oxygen to increase, and it seems that a number of them are probably correct.

The Klystron Gallery at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory,...

GMBFormer: An NDVI-Guided Global Memory Bank Transformer for Urban Green-Space Extraction from Ultra-High-Resolution Imagery
arXiv:2606.06363v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban green-space extraction from ultra-high-resolution (UHR) imagery is commonly performed patch by patch, which limits semantic reuse among spatially separated but visually similar vegetation patterns. Directly injecting the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) into red-green-blue (RGB) backbones can also blur the roles of visual appearance learning and physical vegetation confidence. We propose GMBFormer, a SegFormer-based framework...
