Bon voyage to URI's R/V Endeavor as it heads through the #CapeCodCanal en route to coastal Labrador and Newfoundland! #WHOI's Nick Foukal, Brynnydd Hamilton& Arthur Coquereau are on board to study #LabradorCoastalCurrent freshwater and #AMOC impacts. #NSFfunded UNOLS



New paper from Arthur Coquereau assessing satellite altimetry around southern Greenland: os.copernicus.org/articles/19/13…

Applying to grad school this fall🍃? Interested in ocean/climate science🌊? Ocean engineering⛴? Want to learn more about studying Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) & Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)? Sign up for JP ASK! We will pair you w/ a grad student in the MIT-WHOI Joint Program who can answer your Qs tinyurl.com/ykfyv7zf

Shutdown or slowdown? No, not the federal government - the #GulfStream! News headlines suggest this crucial ocean current could shut down in a few years—but #WHOI oceanographer Robert Todd says it's more complicated than the headlines. Get the facts: go.whoi.edu/gulfshutdown




A Faculty of Science, Utrecht University study found that changes in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could make some areas colder. #WHOI oceanographer Nick Foukal tells Vox how #AMOC works and what it has to do with climate. 📲 Read all about it: go.whoi.edu/VOX-AMOC 📸: NASA Goddard


Incredible wordsmithing by David Garczynski to summarize the complicated field of AMOC dynamics into a brief (too brief?) article: nautil.us/the-ocean-apoc… Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Nautilus Magazine

The National Oceanography Centre has created this handy Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) animation which answers key questions, including how it works and how it could affect our climate if it slows down in the future.

Heading out on a foggy morning in RI for another Labrador Shelf cruise! We’ll be collecting our moorings, doing as many CTD casts as we can fit in, and being generally awesome for the next 24 days. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) URI Graduate School of Oceanography OSNAP



New paper in Science Advances ! In this work, we use altimetry-derived surface currents to show that extreme wind events play a major role in controlling shelf-basin exchanges around the southern tip of #Greenland. with Nick Foukal and Kjetil Våge #EGCC doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

My cover story for Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI)'s Oceanus Magazine is now online. It's on ocean physics, the wild ways scientists measure it, and how the ocean's invisible currents dominate life on this planet. Check it out! whoi.edu/oceanus/featur…

A new #WHOI study found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or #AMOC, has not declined over the past 6 decades– a finding that contradicts other studies. 📲Read the full story in The Washington Post : go.whoi.edu/wapo-amoc-decl… Nick Foukal
