EPOC - Explaining & Predicting the Ocean Conveyor
Horizon Europe research consortium for advancing understanding and prediction of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Working on ocean circulation, climate modelling, palaeoceanography & synthesis for climate science.
- We're super excited to be hosting this ahead of the @agu.org #OceanScienceMeeting2026. We'll be joined by: @helenczerski.bsky.social,@challengersoc.bsky.social, @noc.ac.uk, @samsocean.bsky.social, National Maritime Museum, @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, @universityofleeds.bsky.social + others! 🌊♾️🌍
- 'Eyes on the Ocean' with @epocproject.bsky.social The ocean is amazing! On 21 February meet real-life ocean scientists to discover how we measure oceans, why they're changing and why that matters
- New @nature.com paper from Jack Wharton @ucl.ac.uk. Using deep-ocean sediments, the study shows that North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation during the Last Glacial Maximum persisted at similar depths to today & was much warmer than previously assumed. 📄 www.nature.com/articles/s41... <1/3>
- This provides new constraints for evaluating Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC) behaviour across different climate states. This also brings palaeo-reconstructions into closer agreement with climate models; useful for testing model performance under more extreme boundary conditions.
- Congratulations to Jack, Emilia Kozikowska, Lloyd Keigwin (@whoi.edu), Thomas Marchitto, Mark Maslin, Martin Ziegler and David Thornalley. 🌍♾️🔬
