Even though a natural moderate oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) exists along some of the eastern boundaries of the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlantic OMZ, unlike the OMZs of the Indian and Pacific oceans, was ...

Koslow has researched the impact of climate-change-driven warming on what are known as oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), naturally occurring low-oxygen regions found well below the ocean’s surface.

Ocean deoxygenation and zooplankton: Very small oxygen differences matter. Science Advances , 2018; 4 (12): eaau5180 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aau5180 Cite This Page : ...

In the Gulf of St. Lawrence—where the size of the dead zone grew nearly sevenfold from 2003 to encompass roughly 9,000 square kilometers in 2021—dropping oxygen levels are already affecting ...

Douglas Wallace was on a research ship in the middle of Canada’s Gulf of St. Lawrence when he heard the news: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had met with Olaf Scholz, the German ...

For the new study, which was published today in Nature, the researchers pulled data on ocean salinity, temperature, depth, and oxygen since 1960 from several databases, and mapped it around the world.

Dark oxygen is being created on the ocean floor, scientists have discovered – and it could change our understanding of how humans and animals evolved. It was traditionally thought that only ...

The Global Ocean Oxygen Network — a scientific group set up as part of the United Nation’s Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, 2021-2030 — reports that since the 1960s, the ...

Researchers created this visualization of the Pacific's oxygen minimum zone from observations and the 2018 World Ocean Atlas. The colors approximately indicate the core (purple) that has almost no ...
