Permafrost Region Greenhouse Gases Profile Climate change affects many northern ecosystems such as wetlands, peatlands and permafrost soils, which store a lot of carbon and nitrogen in organic matter. [...] peatlands, wetlands, and permafrost soils. Our projects focus on carbon and nitrogen interactions, cold-season biogeochemical processes, methane emissions from northern wetlands, and permafrost dynamics in northern [...] published a paper with the title: Predicted vulnerability of carbon in permafrost peatlands with future climate change and permafrost thaw in Western Canada doi.org/10.1029/2020JG005872 12 March

The study [...] Permafrost soils store large quantities of organic carbon and are often portrayed as a critical tipping element in the Earth system, which, once global warming has reached a certain level, suddenly and

Permafrost Modelling Profile Why do we need Permafrost Models? Permafrost models are important tools to investigate the role and the sensitivity of frozen ground under very complex environmental and climatic [...] Since permafrost is usually not visible at the earth’s surface and only few measurement sites exist, models are also important to investigate the current state of permafrost. Furthermore, permafrost models [...] the elements that we are able to simulate with our permafrost-land surface model. (Graphic: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) What are Permafrost Models?
