- Research from Oregon State University suggests that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may weaken as the climate warms, potentially leading to rising sea levels and changes in monsoon patterns.
A major ocean current system that helps move heat around the planet may weaken as the climate warms, according to research from Oregon State University.
Scientists say the potential weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, could have global consequences, including rising sea levels and changes to monsoon patterns.
The AMOC is a massive network of ocean currents that acts as a heat transport engine for the planet…
