DESCRIPTION:The conveyor-like circulation of the Atlantic ocean (aka\, the
  AMOC) carries warm surface waters northward through the basin\, thereby a
 ffecting regional and global climate. There have been several recent studi
 es suggesting that the AMOC has weakened and some suggest that there are (
 indirect) warning signs of an impending "collapse". In this talk I will ex
 plore: What do the latest instrumental data show? How do these observation
 al records fit within the longer-term context provided by marine sediment 
 core records spanning the industrial era? And can examples from the geolog
 ical record help constrain how far we have travelled along the pathway to 
 a collapse of the AMOC?
