Task Team 5: Paleo AMOC

The team is charged with fostering collaborative relationships to facilitate cross-disciplinary learning and understanding among paleo scientists with the modern AMOC community. The team will focus on the variability of AMOC through the last two millennia and on AMOC-related events of the last glacial cycle, a period when the proxy signals are larger and can be resolved with more confidence.

This team was formed based on a recommendation from the workshop on Connecting Paleo & Modern Oceanographic Data to Understand Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over Decades to Centuries. While the AMOC Science Team will be officially wrapping up in December 2020, the work of this team will be essential for future research directions and priorities.
