🚨New paper out with @alexauderset.bsky.social! We show that the Arabian Sea oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was better oxygenated during the warm Miocene Climate Optimum than today, but its path to full deoxygenation was slow and complex. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

In line with previous work, we invoke substantial changes in the thermal and nutrient structure of the global water column associated with the inception of the Antarctic ice sheet as the primary mechanism for these changes.

This pattern is replicated on the global scale, where we looked at the same assemblage dynamics using the Triton dataset.

Dr Adam Woodhouse @foradamifera.bsky.social · 02/12/2025
By assigning planktonic foraminifera to the functional ecological niche groups (ecogroups), we found that the assemblages in the western equatorial Atlantic exhibit a distinct turnover from communities dominated by warm-water dwellers to those dominated by cold-water dwellers.

Dr Adam Woodhouse @foradamifera.bsky.social · 02/12/2025
In this study, we (myself, Kirsty Edgar, Tom Dunkley Jones, Carina Hoorn, Bridget Wade) analysed planktonic foraminifera from the Amazon Fan, where the Eocene-Oligocene sediments represent a rare low-latitude record of ecosystem change across the Greenhouse-Icehouse climate transition.

In this paper, we present new global calibrations for the I/Ca proxy for ocean oxygenation, with the first Pacific transect. By comparing data from planktonic foram species that live at different water depths, we gain a better understanding of the proxy and its relationship to O2 #paleoceanography
South-North cross section through the eastern tropical Pacific oxygen minimum zone. It shows the north and south lobe of the oxygen minimum zone, separated by the equatorial undercurrent. The Peru-Chile current and California Current ventilate the near-surface waters, North Pacific Intermediate waters bring low-oxygen waters to the northern lobe at ~550m, and Antarctic Intermediate Waters ventilate the southern lobe at the same depth. The oxygen minimum zone is fueled by Ekman upwelling and remineralization of sinking organic material.
