"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?"
