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. (Jack
Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
