What is the fate of dissolved oxygen in our oceans?

Futurum

CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past. CHALLENGES.
