"Some 119 million years ago large portions of the
world ocean were close to suffocation. The reason:
acute lack of oxygen. This is documented by geological
findings around the world, for example in Italy, Japan,
North America and in the Pacific. The exact timing and
the causes of this so-called oceanic anoxic event (OAE)
however, are not known yet: How fast did it happen,
and why? How much time did the ocean system need to
recover?"
