Recent changes in ocean circulation in the North Atlantic are delivering
larger amounts of subtropical waters to the high latitudes. A research team
led by Fiamma Straneo, a physical oceanographer at Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution, found that subtropical waters are reaching Greenland's glaciers,
driving melting and likely triggering an acceleration of ice loss. Melting ice
also means more fresh water in the ocean, which could flood into the North
Atlantic and disrupt a global system of currents, known as the Ocean Conveyor.
