Salinization
Don’t Take Global Warming with a Grain of Salt!
Meg Tarr, Alina Romanoff, Erik Roldan
Our research goal has been to develop a clearer understanding of the world’s ocean systems and the vital role they play in the climate and temperature processes of the continents in order to show how we, as humans, are active participants in both the cause and effect of global climate fluctuations. Thermohaline Circulation, particularly within the Atlantic Ocean, is presently undergoing a monumental shift in temperature and salinity thus causing significant alterations in the patterns of storms, droughts, marine life, and human habitation throughout the world. We are presenting an explanation of how these natural occurences operate, the extent to which humans are a part of the cycle, and ways in which people can alter the current course of instability. Hopefully our conclusions will help to encourage other people to view climate change as a complex process in which we can make efforts to slow the detrimental effects on our earth while incorporating innovative eco-dynamic sustainability practices.
