·17 min·1 clip

The ocean stores 90% of excess heat from climate change and a quarter of CO2 emissions, says researcher Rita Markina.

This episode explores the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) through discussions with oceanographers Rita Markina and Tillis Petit. They explain how ocean models work, their importance for climate prediction, and the challenges in accurately simulating key processes. The conversation highlights the AMOC's vulnerability to climate change and the need for better observations and modelling to protect this critical system.
