A new study co-authored by GSO professor Jaime Palter explains how large-scale climate change already is causing oxygen levels to drop in the deeper parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Continue reading "Study links climate change to the invasion of lower-oxygen water in Gulf of St. Lawrence"Shifting winds may explain why long-term fluctuations in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures have no apparent influence on Europe’s wintertime temperatures. The findings, published in Nature Communications, could also have implications for how Europe’s climate will evolve amid global warming. In the mid-1990s, scientists assembled the first century-long record of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures […]
