(Graphic: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) Global warming and the thawing of permafrost not only lead to destabilization of the soil in the permafrost regions of the Arctic, but also to a tendency to increasingly delimit [...] risk assessment is therefore crucial from an economic as well as ecological point of view. The permafrost model CryoGrid, which has been further developed as part of PermaRisk, is intended to help predict
water and sediment samples. Correlations between permafrost distribution and sediment characteristics will help determine the role of subsea permafrost in ecosystem dynamics. Furthermore, the project will [...] this project is to determine the impact of changing land-ocean matter fluxes and coastal subsea permafrost on nearshore ecosystems and biodiversity in the Beaufort Sea. This project will build on recent [...] zone, focusing on how it is impacted by climate change. Investigate the role of recently submerged permafrost in sediment-water gas exchange.
