Oxygen concentrations [O 2 ] in the oceans have been decreasing and oxygen minimum zones (OMZ) expanding since 1960 (Schmidtko et al., 2017). Climate models also show this decrease and predict that this trend will not only continue but accelerate in the future (Oschlies et al., 2008(Oschlies et al., , 2018. To better understand the longer-term oxygen cycle in the past, on time scales typically exceeding centuries to millennia, we can use proxy reconstructions (Moffitt et al., 2015). Most proxy reconstructions assess in-situ bottom water [O 2 ] and rely on sedimentary samples (e.g.,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
