The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation likely won't completely collapse with global warming, but any weakening could ...

Hurricanes move massive amounts of sediment from shallow reefs to deep oceans, affecting ecosystems long-term.

The authors find that, in all models, the AMOC weakens but is sustained by upwelling in the Southern Ocean, driven by strong winds in that region. To understand the AMOC-sustaining mechanism ...
