ABR: Reconstructing deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic through the last ice-age — NSF Award to Columbia University (NY,
The ocean plays an important and variable role in Earth’s climate system, as it works with the atmosphere to move and store heat and moisture throughout the globe. In the Atlantic Ocean, a series of surface currents brings warm, salty seawater northward, where it cools and becomes dense enough to sink to great depths.

| Abstract | The ocean plays an important and variable role in Earth’s climate system, as it works with the atmosphere to move and store heat and moisture throughout the globe. In the Atlantic Ocean, a series of surface currents brings warm, salty seawater northward, where it cools and becomes dense enough to sink to great depths. The atmosphere receives the heat from the cooling ocean, warming the climate at high latitudes, and the newly dense water spreads southward at depth and throughout the world’s ocea |
