Researchers at Tulane University have made important discoveries about how the amount of oxygen in the ocean has changed over thousands of years, and what this means for our climate future. By analyzing ocean floor sediments from the Arabian Sea, the team can measure past oxygen levels and link these findings to carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

In recent years, the Mediterranean has become a hotspot for extreme weather, with deadly floods, record-breaking storms, and rising temperatures altering the region’s landscape. While heavy rainfall has always been part of Mediterranean weather patterns, the intensity and frequency of these events are escalating due to climate change—turning natural disasters into regular occurrences.
