Antarctic Bottom Waters Freshening at Unexpected Rate
February 1, 2017
A team led by WHOI oceanographers Viviane Menezes and Alison Macdonald and Scripps researcher Courtney Schatzman report that Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) has freshened (become less saline) at a surprising rate between 2007 and 2016—a shift that could alter ocean circulation and ultimately contribute to rising sea levels.

Climate Model Suggests Collapse of Atlantic Circulation Is Possible
January 4, 2017
The idea of climate change causing a major ocean circulation pattern in the Atlantic Ocean to collapse with catastrophic effects is mostly regarded as an extreme longshot but a new paper based on analysis done at a group of research centers including Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego shows that climate models may be drastically underestimating that possibility.

Study: Diminishing Sea Ice is Increasing the Size of Arctic Ocean Food Web Base
November 23, 2016
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and colleagues analyzed Arctic Ocean satellite data from a 19-year period and found that the amount of biomass production at the base of the food web has increased 47 percent since 1997.
