Purpose
To develop open-source, evidence-based, predictive ecosystem models of the physical and biological factors that contribute to the intensity, scale, and duration of seasonal oxygen minimum zones. These predictive models will also explore how seasonal low-oxygen environments are likely to respond to future environmental change and the possible consequences for microbially mediated global biogeochemical cycles.
