Arctic Sea Ice Loss Could Trigger Major Changes in Ocean Circulation

As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more carbon from the deep ocean into the atmosphere — rather than less, as some have predicted. Credits:Image: MIT News; iStock

Ocean Circulation Slowdown Could Accelerate Climate Change, MIT Study Finds

Foraminifera shells helped scientists piece together a picture of ocean movement during the Eocene period, where high atmospheric carbon levels caused the exchange of ocean waters to slow down.

Ancient ocean slowdown warns of future climate chaos

The Icefin underwater vehicle has sonar, chemical and biological sensors that help researchers characterize sub-ice environments.
