AMOC Media Coverage: New Scientist Video Reaches 2M Views
AMOC Media Coverage: New Scientist Video Reaches 2 Million Views New Scientist’s The Climate Disaster That May Have Already Begun has reached over 2 million views in its first week. Written and presented by Dr Russell Arnott (Seascape Consultants, EPOC), the video was filmed at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Southampton, an EPOC partner institution, and […]
EPOC Annual Meeting 2026: Toulouse Round-Up
EPOC Annual Meeting 2026: Toulouse Round-Up EPOC’s 2026 Annual Meeting ran from 25 to 27 August at CERFACS and Météo France in Toulouse, bringing together the consortium along with invited scientists for two days of science presentations, followed by a third day dedicated to collaborative work across the project’s work packages. The EPOC consortium and […]
New policy brief explores what polar and Atlantic change means for Europe
A new policy brief on how climate-driven changes in the Atlantic Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic are creating growing risks for Europe’s climate, economy, infrastructure and long-term resilience is released today.
Iceland-Faroe Ridge moorings recovery
Iceland-Faroe Ridge moorings recovered, catching a rare glimpse of the AMOC’s overflow water forming EPOC researchers have recovered four of five moorings from the Iceland-Faroe Ridge. The recovery closes out a year-long deployment watching one of the least-observed branches of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). As well as recovering the moorings, the expedition […]
New papers from EPOC’s Arctic gateway observations
New papers from EPOC’s Arctic gateway observations Two new papers by EPOC researchers report findings on Arctic Atlantic Water; the warm, saline current that flows northward through the Fram Strait and drives heat exchange across the entire Arctic system. The papers, published in Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, are led by Rebecca […]
Greenland-Scotland Ridge observations: EPOC at ASOF Bergen 2026
Observing the Greenland-Scotland Ridge : EPOC at ASOF 2026 The Greenland-Scotland Ridge (GSR) determines how much warm, salty Atlantic water reaches the Nordic Seas and the Arctic, and how much dense water spills back south to feed the deep limb of the AMOC. Whether those flows are steady or changing is a difficult question to […]
EPOC newsletter #4 now out!
EPOC Newsletter #4 now out! What’s in EPOC Newsletter 4 EPOC Newsletter 4 covers the latest developments from across the project community. A new paper published in Nature, led by EPOC scientists at UCL, shows that Atlantic Ocean circulation remained active during the Last Glacial Maximum, with deep Atlantic water far warmer than previously thought. […]
AMOC Public Engagement: Eye on the Ocean, Glasgow
Eye on the Ocean: AMOC public engagement at Glasgow On Saturday 21 February, Glasgow Science Centre hosted Eye On The Ocean, a public ocean science showcase. The event coincided with the arrival of AGU Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 (OSM26) delegates in the city and the Scottish school half-term holiday. It was too good of an […]
EPOC workshop brings biogeochemical sensors to AMOC mooring arrays
Biogeochemical sensors workshop held in Edinburgh Marine biogeochemists, physical oceanographers, and mooring engineers came together in Edinburgh on 20th February 2026 for the first workshop of its kind. The focus was biogeochemical sensors, and specifically whether the mooring arrays that monitor the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could also carry them. If so, these arrays […]
AMOC in the spotlight
Atlantic Ocean circulation research reached millions last week when the UK’s Channel 4 News featured an extended segment on the RAPID array monitoring system. This timely focus on the AMOC comes just as the world’s ocean scientists gather in Scotland for the Ocean Sciences Meeting in Glasgow.
