Arctic sea ice and freshwater in the East Greenland Current during the Deglacial — NSF Award to Columbia University (NY, $561,300)
The oceans play a crucial role in transporting heat and moisture from the equator to the poles. Observations show that the input of freshwater in polar regions from melting glaciers and sea ice has already contributed to weakening ocean circulation. However, our understanding of these processes is limited by the length

| Abstract | The oceans play a crucial role in transporting heat and moisture from the equator to the poles. Observations show that the input of freshwater in polar regions from melting glaciers and sea ice has already contributed to weakening ocean circulation. However, our understanding of these processes is limited by the length of observational records; examining previous periods of change can aid this understanding. This project focuses on the Younger Dryas (11.7-12.9 ka), a cold period that abruptly in |
