In this third episode of D-2 Oceanography and Marine Science News aka Ocean News 3 for short, we start out with a focus on the AMOC Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the potential for a collapse due to the influx of fresh water. The Greenland Glaciers and ice are melting at an increasing rate changing the salinity and temperature of the water. The AMOC is weakening potentially from this. However more research is required to make a conclusive statement. Another looming trigger factor remains the Beaufort Gyre which according to experts is filling with fresh water and stabilizing. If this Gyre releases a large amount of fresh water it could flow into the AMOC and disrupt the global current system and change the climate for the entire Earth causing an ice age. Turning Northern Europe and Northern America into a glacial zone again. Antarctica is also being effected by the weakened AMOC as the water temperature has increased causing the Antarctica Glaciers to melt faster from below. #AMOC
