National Science Foundation Reverses Decision to Dismantle Ocean Observatories Initiative
By
Steve Hanley
Summary
The US government initially announced plans to dismantle the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and remove hundreds of ocean sensors providing critical climate data, particularly about the Atlantic Overturning Meridional Current which affects climate in Iceland, Scandinavia, and Western Europe. However, the National Science Foundation has since reversed this decision. The article frames this reversal as a sign of the Trump administration's dysfunction.
