Great article by @zhonggg and @EstherHorvath3 about our EGNOG project on the Northeast Greenland Shelf! nytimes.com/2025/12/06/cli…

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 @washingtonpost : go.whoi.edu/wapo-amoc-decl… @Foukalpoint

Here’s the original article in @NatureComms : nature.com/articles/s4146…

Great writing by @KashaPatel at the @washingtonpost summarizing our recent AMOC article: washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

My cover story for @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…

New paper in @ScienceAdvances ! 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 @Foukalpoint and Kjetil Våge #EGCC doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

Reunited with our Labrador Coastal Current moorings! 4 out of 4 tripod moorings and both SALP moorings recovered, 18 of 20 drifters deployed, and now onto our CTD survey of the Newfoundland shelf…

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. @WHOI @URIGSO @osnap_updates

It's been a busy few weeks here: officially started on the faculty at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography and published our AMOC commentary with @Leon_Chk in Oceanography Magazine! skio.uga.edu/2024/07/30/ski… tos.org/oceanography/a…

The @NOCnews 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. @NERCscience @NOCmarinePhys youtube.com/watch?v=LHGZiq…

Incredible wordsmithing by @dkgarz to summarize the complicated field of AMOC dynamics into a brief (too brief?) article: nautil.us/the-ocean-apoc… @WHOI @NautilusMag

A @UUBeta study found that changes in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could make some areas colder. #WHOI oceanographer @Foukalpoint tells @voxdotcom how #AMOC works and what it has to do with climate. 📲 Read all about it: go.whoi.edu/VOX-AMOC 📸: @NASAGoddard

Are we breaking the Atlantic Ocean? trib.al/LOKiSQP

These postdoc positions are still available (deadline December 18th). I would love to hear from you if you're interested in the high-latitude oceans, circulation, carbon cycle, and climate!

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 @RTodd_Ocean says it's more complicated than the headlines. Get the facts: go.whoi.edu/gulfshutdown

Applying to grad school this fall🍃? Interested in ocean/climate science🌊? Ocean engineering⛴? Want to learn more about studying @MIT & @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

For the next 26 days, I'm serving as a watchstander on oceanographic expedition to the Labrador Sea. Sharing pics and stories of my time at sea on Instagram if anyone wants to follow along. My handle is dkgarz . Frequency will depend on the weather and internet at sea

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

Consider applying for the WHOI Post-Doc Scholar program for recent PhDs in oceanography, chemistry, engineering, geology, geophysics, climate science, maths, meteorology, physics, biology, economics, marine policy, and any field that fits our core mission. Deadline Oct 15th.

@ClarkGRichards @cyrf0006 Eastern Newfoundland actually looks good for hiding away so we should be okay… 😬

7 moorings in 3 days! 4 bottom tripods with CTDs and ADCPs, and 3 SALPs that will deploy 40 surface drifters into the coastal current. The joint US/Canada Labrador Coastal Current array is in the water! We’ll be back next fall to collect the data. Now it’s on to CTDs… @cyrf0006
