  5. Snowball Earth – Episode 1

    It’s watchable sci-fi, but the apocalyptic stakes aren’t well balanced against the wacky social anxiety shenanigans.

    #TheGreatUnconformity — a gap in Earth’s #geologicalrecord. New research suggests it was created by shifting continents, rather than “#SnowballEarth” or #Cambrian life. Evidence that the gap was largely created by #tectonic processes that occurred from 2.1B to 1.6B years ago, in the #Neoproterozoic era, during the formation of an ancient supercontinent called Columbia

  11. #SnowballEarth might have had a dynamic #climate and open seas
    Rocks from a global ice age over 600 million years ago show records of an active climate
    “Everyone thought that the climate system would be really quite stable due to global ice coverage,” says Griffin, of the University of Southampton in England. Instead, she and her colleagues found evidence of an active climate and a partially open #ocean.

    Understanding #snowballEarth extreme climates — when the world is covered in ice
    New research in #Geology suggests an unexpected mechanism could have caused a global #glaciation to last for 56 million years, revealing the inner workings of the #carbonCycle

  15. When Earth iced over, early life may have sheltered in meltwater ponds news.mit.edu/2025/when-earth-i

    "635 million to 720 million years ago, during periods known as #SnowballEarth, when much of the planet was covered in ice, some of our ancestors could have waited things out in meltwater ponds... Today in #Antarctica, small pools of melted ice can be found along the margins of ice sheets. The conditions are similar to what likely existed along ice sheets near the equator during Snowball Earth."

  17. Did the #snowballEarth give complex life a boost?
    Planet-wide #glaciers may have filled the #oceans with mineral nutrients.
    As massive glaciers scratched and scarred #Earth’s rocky surface, they freed less-common minerals, which were later flushed into the seas as the ice melted into giant glacial rivers. These minerals in turn may have spurred nutrient cycling in the oceans, boosting the metabolism of microbial life.

  18. When you consider the Earth is 4.4 billion years old, and complex Life only came about due to a calamity shaking things up 800 million years ago...the chances of bountiful biospheres like ours must be pretty slim.

    1. We must cherish this planet for the rare jewel it is.
    2. There's probably a lot of easily terraformable worlds out there that could suit us nicely with a bit of work.

  23. The Physics of Cold Water May Have Jump-Started Complex #Life
    When #seawater gets cold, it gets viscous. This fact could explain how single-celled #ocean creatures became multicellular when the planet was frozen during “#SnowballEarth,” according to experiments.
    The prevailing scientific view is that such frigid temperatures would slow rather than speed evolution. But fossil records from 720 to 635MYA show an #evolutionary spurt preceding the development of #animals.

    Melting the #Marinoan Snowball Earth: The impact of #deglaciation duration on the sea-level history of continental margins. By Freya Morris et al. sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "The #Cryogenian period is believed to have played a significant role in the emergence of complex, multicellular life, with animal and algal-based ecosystems beginning to appear once the ice sheets retreated"

  25. Thinking again about that 1-2 billion year window of when life is ideal for stuff like us wacky Humans but how many other worlds out there might just need a nudge in the right direction to make them habitable...

    "Life on Earth was simple—in the form of #microbes, #algae or other tiny aquatic organisms—for over 2 billion years leading up to Snowball Earth... Then 2 Snowball Earth events occurred. And soon after, animals appear in the fossil record"

  27. The term " #Neoproterozoic #fossil record " still feels odd, but this is just how our understanding has progressed.
    Now, with the added layer of inhabited terrestrial #environments before #SnowballEarth.
    (also, possibly a critical part of the #evolution of life, if you care about that sort of thing)

    Life on Earth was more diverse than classical theory suggests 800 million years ago, a Brazilian study shows

    According to an article published in the journal PNAS, different lineages of #amoebae and ancestors of #plants, #algae and animals were already established in the #Neoproterozoic period and survived the two glaciations that covered the entire planet.
