    The document discusses how melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet disrupted ocean circulation patterns in the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. Large freshwater inputs from melting ice weakened ocean salinity gradients and destabilized ocean circulation currents like the Gulf Stream. This led to a shutdown of thermohaline circulation and significant climate changes during the Younger Dryas period.
