Deep ocean currents near Antarctica on the verge of collapsing Research

Washington [US], April 2 (ANI): Scientists believe that the deep ocean circulation that forms around Antarctica is on the verge of collapsing. Such a decline of this ocean circulation will stagnate the bottom of the oceans and generate further impacts affecting climate and marine ecosystems for centuries to come. The results are detailed in a new study coordinated by Scientia Professor Matthew England, Deputy Director of the ARC Centre for Excellence in Antarctic Science (ACEAS) at UNSW Sydney. The work, published today in Nature, includes lead author Dr. Qian Li — formerly from UNSW and now at the Massachusetts Institute…
