By December, a high-pressure ridge over western Russia and a low-pressure system in Western Europe caused what is known as ...

Moreover, artificial refreezing could alter ocean currents, influencing the thermohaline circulation that is essential for global climate regulation. Increasing salinity and adding aerosols to the ...

That’s potentially a big problem, because sinking cold water helps drive the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation ...

The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is a complex system of ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream, which ...

Ocean currents are formed due to three key factors: the rise and fall of tides, wind and thermohaline circulation – a process caused by density differences in water depending on its temperature ...

This transport of water drives the global thermohaline circulation (i.e. the circulation of heat and salt) within the ocean. This has been called the Global Conveyor Belt. Graphic illustrating the ...

In a previous edition of the “ Sustainability Corner , " we covered the nature of climate breakdown—the accelerated processes ...
