The second aspect of the research seeks to address the consequences of past changes in Southern Ocean intermediate water circulation and nutrient biogeochemistry on the extent of low-latitude oxygen minimum zones on millennial timescales. Notably, we aim to quantify the relative contributions of changes in the oxygen supply to the (sub)tropical surface ocean and variability in O2 utilization related to the remineralization of sinking organic particles from the low-latitude photic zone.
