The deep Earth oxygen cycle addresses the origin and long-term exchange of oxidized species between the mantle and exosphere and creates the geochemical context in which the interior and surface environment have evolved. The redox power of the bulk silicate Earth (BSE) can be measured in terms of its redox budget, RB, relative to a reference state of the predominant valences of redox-sensitive elements in the mantle. 82±4%(1.9±0.5× 10 23 moles) of the redox power resides in the mantle and 18±4%(4.2±0.5× 10 22 moles) in the exosphere. Vigorous outfluxes of oxidized species from the mantle (3.8±0.7× 10 13 mol/yr) can replenish the exosphere reservoir in 1.1±0.2 Ga, which requires efficient long-term recycling of redox power via subduction. Within uncertainties, recent (last 200 Ma) mantle RB outfluxes and subduction influxes (4.9±1.3× 10 13 mol/yr) are balanced, but outfluxes likely exceeded influxes earlier in Earth history. CO 2 is 66±20% of the RB outfluxes but only 24±13% of the influxes. This is largely because of conjugate intervalence reactions; one in the shallow mantle creates carbonate at the expense of Fe 2 O 3 and the other creates Fe 2 O 3 from CO 2 on the surface by a combination of organic carbon fixation and oxidative weathering. Scaling of mantle oxygen fugacity, f O2, to redox mass balance is approximately Δ log(Fe 3+ Fe⊤) peridotite≈ 1 4 Δ log(f O 2) mantle. Consequently, inferences of secular evolution of mantle oxygen fugacity from the Archaean to the Proterozoic, amounting to about 1.5 log units in f O2, imply that the Archaean mantle had an Fe 3+/Fe T ratio< 0.02, rather than the modern value of 0.04±0.01. Oceanic basalts derive from sources with greater redox budgets than mid-ocean ridges, and this is partly expressed as higher source Fe 3+/Fe T ratios, but more importantly, as greater source CO 2 concentrations. In combination, these require that plumes in the deep upper mantle have Fe 3+/Fe T ratios significantly greater than the depleted mantle. The oxidative inventory of the BSE originated by a combination of H 2 O disproportionation in the atmosphere, leading to H 2 escape, and FeO disproportionation in the deep mantle, with loss of Fe to the core. FeO disproportionation in a deep magma ocean inevitably produces a significant fraction of the BSE RB, but additional contributions are likely required. Further Fe loss could be from bridgemanite crystallization followed by Fe escape through a basal magma ocean. Gradual mixing of the resulting deep oxidized layer may account for secular oxidation of the mantle source regions of igneous rocks from 3 to 2 Ga. H 2 O disproportionation assisted in accumulation of the oxidized surface species, but was not a significant source of mantle oxidative power, as mechanisms of oxidative influx are quantitatively insufficient.
