    (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
