The Global Ocean Engine Is Shifting Gears

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Human-induced changes in the global meridional overturning circulation are emerging from the Southern Ocean” by Lee et al. (2023). For decades, the story of the ocean's circulation in a warming world seemed straightforward. We have a clear picture of the "Global... Continue Reading →

The Nordic Seas Overturning Circulation Is Set to Rebound After the 2040s

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Future strengthening of the Nordic Seas overturning circulation” by Årthun et al. (2023). When we talk about climate change and the ocean, one of the most prominent stories is the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). This vast system... Continue Reading →

In Future Scenarios Where CO2 increases are Halted Sooner, the AMOC Gradually Recovers

This blog post and the “Deep Dive” podcast, created by NotebookLM, are based on “Noise-induced tipping of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation under climate mitigation scenarios” by Oh et al. (2025). It’s a hopeful and seemingly logical assumption: if humanity manages to stop increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere, the climate system will gradually stabilize and...
