Correction to: Nature Geoscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-020-00667-z, published online 4 January 2021.

In the version of this Article originally published, the right-hand y-axis label ‘ΔO2 (mmol m–3)’ in Figs. 3a,b and 4a–d was incorrect and should have read ‘Concentration (mmol m–3)’. The label for the colour scale bar for Fig. 3c,d ‘O2 saturation (%)’ was also incorrect and should have read ‘ΔO2 (mmol m–3)’. The online versions of the Article have been corrected.
