Many of the models used to make climate projections are unable to dynamically reflect permafrost. A new study involving experts from the Alfred Wegener Institute has for the first time applied an extensive [...] extensive ensemble of 17 climate models to quantify how said models portray permafrost in warm climates. Drawing on a comparison of models for a warm period during the mid-Pliocene roughly three million years [...] Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences the researchers conclude that the near-surface permafrost extent was less than 10 percent of that seen in the preindustrial era.

In In the framework of MOSES and in cooperation with [...] institutes (AWI-Periglacial Research, GFZ, Geomar) we plan to assess the influence of rapidly thawing permafrost on the distribution of methane in the aquatic environment. Especially the winter situation, the

A previously underestimated risk lurks in the frozen soil of the Arctic. When the ground thaws and becomes unstable in response to climate change, it can lead to the collapse of industrial infrastruct

This can dramatically change the landscapes and water cycle in permafrost regions, while also affecting
