🌊 In 2012, CGD’s Aixue Hu showed how closing the Bering Strait in models affects Atlantic currents. Today, Science revisits this idea, asking if a giant dam could help keep Europe warm. Why it matters: ocean gateways, tipping points & bold ideas all collide. 🔗 lnkd.in/gS_sHikw

🌍💧 New models reveal the secret life of water!
SCI-SWIM, led by Rice & NCAR with NSF support, tracks where rain comes from using stable water isotopes — tracing moisture from oceans to clouds to ice sheets.
