Description

Even on the calmest day, the ocean is constantly in motion. From powerful ocean currents to the smallest eddy, moving seawater is a key driver of the Earth system, distributing heat, nutrients, and carbon—sustaining life at every scale and shaping weather and climate around the globe.

Join three WHOI scientists for a discussion about ocean currents, how they are changing, and the implications for marine life and all of us.
