Scientists warn that funding cuts to the Ocean Observatories Initiative will remove key moorings and reduce the nation’s ability to monitor El Niño, ocean heat anomalies, and Atlantic circulation.

A persistent patch of cooling south-east of Greenland is increasingly being linked to a slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the current system that helps move heat northward.

A new study estimates the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation may weaken by about half by the end of the century under a mid-range emissions scenario, sharpening concern over climate risks for Europe, Africa, and

This week’s science roundup linked three very different developments: new concern around the Atlantic overturning current, an artificial-neuron breakthrough, and the discovery of an Iliad copy inside an Egyptian mummy.

A new study argues the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could weaken by half by 2100 and may be nearer to collapse than previously thought, but researchers cited in coverage say the results should not be read
