Key developments: Researchers have uncovered robust observational data showing that a major segment of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been diminishing over roughly the past twenty years. This slowdown is significant because the AMOC helps regulate…

Key developments: Researchers have uncovered robust observational data showing that a major segment of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been steadily losing strength over the past 20 years. This weakening is not a short‑term fluctuation but…

Key developments: New research shows that marine heatwaves represent just the peak of much longer periods of elevated sea temperatures, with heat lingering for months beyond the recorded spikes. The study reveals that traditional measurement methods miss more…

A new analysis of marine heatwaves shows that the most intense temperature spikes are just the tip of a longer warming episode that can persist for months, a period previously under‑counted by standard monitoring methods. The study reports…
