π©°Ballet at sea, anyone? Recently, WHOI engineers & crew orchestrated a Nutcracker-level production with winches, pulleys, and ropes to deploy moorings in the treacherous waters off the coast of eastern Greenland.

Great article by @zhonggg.bsky.social and Esther Horvath highlighting our EGNOG project on the Northeast Greenland Shelf! www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/c...
π New study out on freshwater pathways in the subpolar North Atlantic:
With @eleanorfrajka.bsky.social and @foukalpoint.bsky.social we used surface drifters to describe the circulation of Baffin Bay and Hudson Bay waters over and away from the Labrador Shelf

A team of researchers reconstructed a critical ocean current system β called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC β in computer models and found no evidence of long-term weakening over the past 60 years.
New paper published today by @elodieduyck.bsky.social, myself, and @eleanorfrajka.bsky.social on the freshwater pathways along the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelf. Freshwater anomalies from Hudson/Baffin Bays likely bypass Labrador Sea convection region: os.copernicus.org/articles/21/...
Great writing by Kasha Patel from the Washington Post summarizing our recent AMOC article @polarocean.bsky.social @linusvogt.bsky.social : www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
Has the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) weakened over the last decades? In our new study, we combine state-of-the-art CMIP6 models and observation-based estimates of the air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic to show that the AMOC has not declined since the 1960s! π
