An international team is travelling to Greenland on a UK polar ship to investigate the speed at which thawing ice sheets influence crucial ocean currents. The six-week project is being led by Dr Kelly Hogan, a marine geophysicist at the British Antarctic Survey. Scientists fear the rapidly melting ice could change a major Atlantic current system, potentially impacting UK weather and global climate stability.
