The Great Oxygenation Event (GOE), also called the Oxygen Catastrophe, Oxygen Crisis, Oxygen Holocaust, Oxygen Revolution, or Great Oxidation, was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen (O 2) in Earth's atmosphere.he gap between the start of oxygen production from photosynthetic organisms and the geologically rapid increase in atmospheric oxygen (about 2.5â2.4 billion years ago) may have been as long as 900 million years.
Today oxygen makes up about 20 percent of Earth's atmosphere, but for the first two billion years after Earth formed, its atmosphere was anoxic (oxygen-free). About 2.3 billion years ago, oxygen increased from a trace gas to perhaps one percent of Earth's atmosphere.Another jump took place about 600 million years ago, paving the way for multi-cellular life forms to expand during the Cambrian Explosion.ndeed, the jumps in atmospheric oxygen at 2.3 billion years ago and 600 million years ago do seem to be associated with Snowball Earth episodes (Fig. 14). However, scientists are still unsure exactly what the connection might be between the extreme ice ages and changes in the oxygen content of the atmosphere.
