Predicting Seabed Response To Climate Change Oct 20, 2009
(July 25, 2009) Scientists have researched the geology of the seabed in the Labrador Sea on board of RV Maria S. Merian. They have studied the so-called Eirik Drift at the southern tip of Greenland, a structure of. (Science Daily)
Indications For Volcanic Eruptions In The Younger Geological History Found In Labrador Sea Jul 26, 2009
ScienceDaily (July 25, 2009) Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute have researched the geology of the seabed in the Labrador Sea on board of the research vessel Maria S. Merian ... These sediments are ablated by ocean currents in the Greenland Sea and deposited in the Labrador Sea ... This result changes the picture of the geological development of the outer part of the Labrador Sea. (Science Daily)
NASA Supercomputing Goes Green: Modeling Earth's Ocean Climate May 28, 2009
10, 2004) Labrador Sea ocean tides dislodged huge Arctic icebergs thousands of years ago, carrying gigantic ice-rafted debris across the ocean and contributing to the ice age's deep freeze, say an. (Sep. (Science Daily)
Duke research team casts doubt on warming models May 17, 2009
DURHAM -- The familiar model of Atlantic ocean currents that shows a discrete "conveyor belt" of deep, cold water flowing southward from the Labrador Sea is probably all wet. . (Herald Sun)
Study finds surprising new pathway for North Atlantic circulation May 14, 2009
Using field observations and computer models, the study shows that much of the southward flow of cold water from the Labrador Sea moves not along the deep western boundary current, but along a previously unknown path in the interior of the North Atlantic ... But testing the idea meant developing an elaborate WHOI-led field program involving the launching of 76 special Range and Fixing of Sound "RAFOS" floats into the current south of the Labrador Sea between 2003 to 2006 ... The "RAFOS" floats... (EurekAlert!)
Seaglider monitors climate-related ocean circulation in the Arctic Apr 29, 2009
The 49-kilogram (110-pound) seaglider, developed and deployed by researchers at the University of Washington, measured fresh water leaving the Arctic Ocean through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Davis Strait and entering the Labrador Sea. Scientists are concerned that Arctic climate change and increased fresh-water runoff are affecting the formation of very dense water in the Labrador Sea. (EurekAlert! -- Business News)
Seaglider monitors waters from Arctic during record-breaking journey under ice Apr 29, 2009
The result contributes to the longest continuous measurement of fresh water exiting the Arctic through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Davis Strait and into the Labrador Sea. Scientists worry that climate change may increase the amount of fresh water so much that it impacts the formation of very dense water in the Labrador Sea. (EurekAlert! -- Business News)
Silica Algae Reveal How Ecosystems React To Climate Changes Mar 15, 2009
23, 2007) Ecosystems along the continental shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean, from the Labrador Sea south of Greenland all the way to North Carolina, are experiencing large, rapid changes, reports a. (Apr. (Science Daily)
