[HTML][HTML] The past to unravel the future: Deoxygenation events in the geological archive and the anthropocene oxygen crisis
Despite the observation that we are witnessing a true oxygen crisis, the ocean

Continental configuration controls ocean oxygenation during the Phanerozoic
The early evolutionary and much of the extinction history of marine animals is thought to be
driven by changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations ([O2]) in the ocean,–. In turn,[O2] is …

Syndepositional and diagenetic processes in the pigmentation of Middle Ordovician carbonate red beds in South China
M Liu, C Fang, D Chen - Sedimentary Geology, 2024 - Elsevier
Marine red beds (MRBs) are often attributed to specific redox environments during
syndepositional and early diagenetic phases. During the Middle Ordovician, a succession of …

Ordovician–Silurian true polar wander as a mechanism for severe glaciation and mass extinction
Abstract The Ordovician–Silurian transition experienced severe, but enigmatic, glaciation, as
well as a paradoxical combination of mass extinction and species origination. Here we …

Opportunities for earth observation to inform risk management for ocean tip** points
As climate change continues, the likelihood of passing critical thresholds or tip** points
increases. Hence, there is a need to advance the science for detecting such thresholds. In …

Redox changes in the Iapetus Ocean during the Late Ordovician extinction crises
The cause of the Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) is widely debated, with glaciation,
volcanism and oceanic redox fluctuations being proposed as possible drivers. Here, we …
