Study published today in the journal Nature Geoscience Nature Portfolio, led by scientists at our Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), and Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, shows that a critical piece of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation in the North Atlantic has weakened by about 12% over the past two decades. “Our observational analysis matches what the numerical models have predicted—human activity could potentially impose circulation changes on the entire ocean,” said Tiago Biló, an assistant scientist at the Rosenstiel School’s CIMAS. “This analysis was only possible because of the decades of collective planning and efforts by multiple oceanographic institutions worldwide.” Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/eDGRkXqK #AtlanticMeridionalOverturningCirculation #ClimateChange #oceanscience

⚡ This article examines recent research on the formation of the Earth and the origin of volatiles. The discoveries, supported by scientific data, provide insight into the history and evolution of our planet.

From the Office of Research: Dr. Kevin Mueller, an assistant professor in the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences (BGES), has been awarded $299,844 by NASA to study the optical properties of leaves utilizing hyperspectral imaging. Plants have unique amounts and types of leaf waxes that perform functions like water uptake and protection from pests, as well as variable leaf internal composition and thickness. These factors affect how the leaves reflect light. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ewj3i8Yk

Hot off the press! Have you ever wondered when ocean circulation began through the Barents Seaway during the Quaternary period (the last 2.6 Ma), connecting the Arctic and the Atlantic oceans? Our new paper led by Henry Patton shows that this connection was established 690.000 years ago! Suppose you are a climate or ocean scientist working on climate and oceanographic simulations, or a sedimentologist trying to understand the source-to-sink or contourites distribution in the Arctic, or a structural geologist interested in glacio-isostatic or tectonic uplift reconstructions, or a landscape evolution enthusiast fascinated in numerical modelling, or anyone wanted to be updated on how the earth responded during an ice age. In that case, this paper is for you :) Read here, #OpenAccess paper in Earth-Science Reviews: https://lnkd.in/gf3fTZ9A iC3 Centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate (Polar Research) UiT- The Arctic University of Norway Centre for Planetary Habitability (#PHAB) University of Oslo Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) | University of Oslo The Geological Survey of Norway EarthByte Group School of Geosciences University of Sydney University of Oulu Thanks to the sponsors Equinor, Norges forskningsråd, European Commission

#Congrats #DoctoralDefense #NewDoctorAlert 🎉Congrats to Sophie Lagarde on her successful Doctoral Thesis Defense. Sophie did her thesis at the GFZ in section 4.6 with Prof. Niels Hovius and Dr. Jens Turowski. During her PhD thesis, she used seismic signal to increase our knowledge on the natural processes happening on the Earth surface. Specifically, Sophie looks at slope failures and river processes. She found out that the triggering factor for slope failure can be driven by the total crack length boundary, an internal parameter not considered previously, and that it is possible to retrieve river bedload flux and water depth using seismic signal. These studies show that environmental seismology is suitable for natural processes real time monitoring and thus show its potential to be applied in early warning systems, whose aim is to mitigate the impact of natural hazards on human societies.
