Circulation Changes in a Warmer Ocean
Description: In a new study, scientists suggest that the pattern of ocean circulation was radically altered in the past when climates were warmer. Ancient warm periods offer useful insights into potential future warming and its impacts. The mid-Pliocene, ~3 million years ago, was a relatively recent period of global warmth that is often considered as an analog for our future. [Source: ScienceDaily]
