Warming Hole: Consequence of Human-Driven Changes

UM Rosenstiel School researchers investigated a pattern of temperature change in a stretch of water in the subpolar North Atlantic region known as a warming hole, which has been cooling over the past century, using a cutting-edge climate model.

Study Discovers Past Breakdown Events Related to the Collapse of Great Atlantic Circulation System

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), a system of ocean currents that carry warm water from the tropics into the North Atlantic and transport cold water from the northern to the southern hemisphere, is a fundamental mechanism for the regulation of Earth's climate.

Forecasts of Future Arctic Carbon Emissions

Permafrost in the rapidly melting Arctic will probably release as much carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere as a large industrial nation by the end of this century, preferably more than the United States has emitted since the beginning of the industrial revolution.
