Rainy tropics could face unprecedented droughts as Atlantic Ocean circulation slows down New research warns that global rainfall patterns could shift dramatically as a result of climate change Fossils Provide Insight into Climate Resistance of Reef Corals An international team of Researchers has investigated unusually well-preserved fossils of reef corals from the subtropical Central Paratethys Sea. Researching Heat Waves in the Ocean: Divers Collect Temperature Data With the help of divers, the BlueDOT project is collecting temperature data from the ocean. Tracking Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation using benthic foraminifera New study: More oxygen in the oxygen-minimum zone associated with weaker Atlantic overturning circulation How the wind shapes the waves Groundbreaking measurement method reveals previously hidden interactions between water and air above the ocean The oldest ice core on Earth at the Alfred Wegener Institute As part of the EU-funded Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice project, a research consortium set up a drilling camp on the high plateau in East Antarctica in 2019 Journey through space and time The latest Polarstern expedition is off to explore ice floe types from the past, present and future Sea ice plays important role in variability of carbon uptake by Southern Ocean New research reveals the importance of winter sea ice in the year-to-year variability of the amount of atmospheric CO2 absorbed by a region of the Southern Ocean. More weather extremes in Europe during the summer under climate change Due to global warming, the North Atlantic Oscillation, an atmospheric circulation pattern that strongly influences European weather, is becoming more extreme in the summer.
