Around the globe, roughly 75 percent of all land-based organisms and roughly 90 percent of all marine organisms died out as a result. Dr. William Foster from Universit\u00e4t Hamburg&#8217;s Center for Earth System Research and Sustainability (CEN) and colleagues have now used a new form of machine learning to unravel the causes of the mass extinction in the oceans. This was possible because the &#8220;machine&#8221; part of machine learning is normally a &#8220;black box,&#8221; but Dr. Foster and colleagues have managed to open that box: They have not only determined which organisms went extinct and which survived\u2014but also why. Their findings have just been published in the journal Paleobiology.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-03-critical-factors-end-permian-mass-extinction.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Three critical factors in the end-Permian mass extinction<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two-hundred fifty-two million years ago, volcanic eruptions led to massive climate changes.
