Understanding AMOC: Closing the Knowledge Gaps

​Due to climate change, The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is weakening and may even collapse. This will have far-reaching impacts on societies and ecosystems around the world. However, the precise magnitude and timing of these impacts remain uncertain, making improving our understanding of the AMOC an international priority.

​This event, hosted by the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure & Water Management in collaboration with ecosystem partners, will highlight three priorities for action: strengthening long-term ocean monitoring, advancing research and modelling to better understand and anticipate AMOC changes, and enhance international cooperation in the research of the AMOC.
