a, c Global distribution of the surface O2 and minimum O2 concentrations in the modern ocean. b, d Global distribution of the surface O2 and minimum O2 concentrations in the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum ocean, with a release of 6540 Pg C within 5000 years. The red star denotes the paleolocation of our studied sites. See details of cGENIE simulations in Methods and Supplementary Fig. 6.
