And secondly, we measured [...] elevations using a high-accuracy GPS antenna to estimate surface subsidence resulting from thawing permafrost. In addition, we visited research sites of local and international partners and discussed scientific

Permafrost
The fate of permafrost - soil that is frozen for 2 or more years - is of huge importance for the global climate because of the large amounts of organic carbon stored in it, which can be released

Permafrost coasts make up about one third of the Earth’s total coastline. As a result of accelerated climate change, whole sections of coastline rapidly thaw, and erode into the [...] now shows that large amounts of carbon dioxide are potentially being produced along these eroding permafrost coastlines in the Arctic.

The loss of arctic permafrost deposits by coastal erosion could amplify climate warming via the greenhouse effect. A study using sediment samples from the Sea of Okhotsk [...] Okhotsk on the eastern coast of Russia led by AWI researchers revealed that the loss of Arctic permafrost at the end of the last glacial period led to repeated sudden increases in the carbon dioxide concentration
