And climate scientists have been asking a crucial question: Whether this vast system, which includes the Gulf Stream, is slowing down because of climate change. One of those scientists is Susan Lozier, Professor, Dean and Betsy Middleton and John Clark Sutherland Chair of the College of Sciences. Lozier, a physical oceanographer who is president of the American Geophysical Union, reacts to a new study detecting early warning signs that this critical ocean system is at risk, according to a new analysis published Thursday in the scientific journal Nature Climate Change. This story also appears in the Seattle Times and IFL Science.
