Gulf Stream collapse could start by 2060, Dutch researchers warn

The Gulf Stream, a system of ocean currents that plays a crucial role in the climate, may reach an irreversible point of collapse much sooner than previously thought. Previously, scientists thought th...

Physics‐Based Indicators for the Onset of an AMOC Collapse Under Climate Change

Multiple AMOC collapses are simulated in the CESM under transient climate change scenarios A physics-based indicator derived from surface buoyancy fluxes is proposed for the onset of an AMOC coll...
