Canfield ocean

Peter Ward studies the effects of ocean hypoxia(anoxic) and sulfidic oceans and climate change.

Environmental suit

In aviation, pressure suits protect fighter pilots from hypoxia / altitude sickness, and g-suits from the adverse effects of acceleration (gravity-induced loss of consciousness, or G-LOC).

Peter Hochachka

His work included studies of enzyme adaptation to temperature and pressure, the mechanisms underlying tolerance to low oxygen levels in animals, the bioenergetics of exercise, metabolism during diving in seals, allometric scaling, and human adaptations to high-altitude hypoxia.

Time of useful consciousness

For example, usually upon exposure to hypoxia at FL 250, an average individual has a TUC of 3 to 5 minutes.
