primary production) over the past two decades, according to remote-sensing studies. At the same time, permafrost thaw is accelerating due to warming, releasing more nutrients and carbon into the Arctic Ocean

human activity in the Arctic takes place along permafrost coasts. These coasts have become one of the most dynamic ecosystems on Earth because permafrost thaw is now exposing them to rapid change: change [...] fates of organic matter released from thawing coastal and subsea permafrost; (2) assess what risks are posed by thawing coastal permafrost, to infrastructure, indigenous and local communities and people’s [...] system. NUNATARYUK is a H2020 project that investigates the impacts of thawing coastal and subsea permafrost on the global climate, and develops targeted and co-designed adaptation and mitigation strategies

Canada, near the communities of Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk. Our goal is to study the current state of permafrost as part of the MOSES (Modular Observation Solutions for Earth Systems) project. Our research in [...] “Lake 3” we conducted Electrical Resistivity Tomography surveys in an effort to map the depth to permafrost under the lake. As part of our outreach activities, some members of our team joined a summer camp

further develop the CryoGrid permafrost model and apply it to thermokarst processes in ice-rich permafrost. He also deals with the question of the extent to which the permafrost region in the northern hemisphere [...] help provide a more realistic picture of permafrost thawing. AWI press release original press release Paper entitled "Sensitivity of ecosystem-protected permafrost under changing boreal forest structures [...] the workshop were the impacts of rapid permafrost degradation to the infrastructure and the results, potentials, objectives and plans on modelling of permafrost processes. Furthermore there were sessions

"Carbon in Deep Permafrost" at the 2 nd Asian Conference on Permafrost (ACOP2017), held in Sapporo, Japan. 5.-8. June 2017 Guido, Frank and Anne participated in the Pushchino Permafrost Conference «Earth's [...] change and permafrost degradation in the Arctic at the Klimawerkstatt Spandau . 30. November - 1. December 2018 Loeka, Clara and Josefine take part in the 10th meeting of the working group permafrost oft he [...] embarked on a long and successful journey to better understand and quantify the role of permafrost carbon and rapid permafrost thaw for the carbon cycle. We thank all who contributed to this effort! Many important

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.

Permafrost
Lakes in the northernmost latitudes are widely considered to be a significant source of the greenhouse gas methane. In order to improve currently available climate-change projection models

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

Google.org for the development of an AI system that can be used to study the thawing of the Arctic permafrost even faster and more effectively.
