A strong call for ocean science to lead climate solutions

Partnering with other leading scientific and stakeholder organisations, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel participates in this year’s United Nations climate change conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. GEOMAR contributes to the Ocean Pavilion, a central hub for leveraging ocean science and solutions for the climate crisis coordinated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Today, the partners call on world leaders to enhance protection of the ocean and expand the observational capacity that is the foundation of the scientific evidence to guide progress in the “Dubai Ocean Declaration”.

How salt from the Caribbean affects our climate

Past cold periods such as the Little Ice Age were associated with reduced strength of North Atlantic currents and increased surface salinity in the Caribbean. This was accompanied by disturbances in the distribution of salt to the north leading to longer, stronger cooling phases in the northern hemisphere. Researchers from the Canadian Dalhousie University, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research and MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen have proven this connection. They have now published their research results in the journal Science Advances. The study supports the hypothesis that salt transfer through ocean currents is a crucial regulator of global climate.
