their new homes, creating a host of new water bodies. This could accelerate the thawing of the permafrost soils, and therefore intensify climate change, as an International American-German research team

Permafrost
Beavers are highly effective ecosystem engineers: if a given landscape isn’t quite to their liking, they simply rearrange the terrain. And that’s what they’ve been doing for millennia in [...] to their findings, the animals could change entire ecosystems and contribute to the thawing of permafrost soils, as they report in the journal Global Change Biology.

February 1st, 2025, Carolina Voigt and her junior researcher group COLDSPOT will be established in the Permafrost section. The junior researcher group deals with CH4 and N2O www.uni-potsdam.de/de/umwe

Prize for AWI scientist Ingmar Nitze: As part of this years Publication Award of the Leibniz Kolleg in Potsdam, the permafrost expert has been announced as a laureate. The yearly confered promotion supports young scientists of mathematics and natural sciences.

Arctic coasts are characterized by sea ice, permafrost and ground ice. This makes them particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which is already accelerating rapid coastal

Permafrost researcher Dr Jens Strauss, AWI Potsdam, was awarded "Young Scientist 2015". With this award the chairmen of the Friends' Association acknowledge the researcher's outstanding achievements

Permafrost
Throughout the Arctic, ice wedges are thawing at a rapid pace. Changes to these structures, which are very common in permafrost landscapes, have a massive impact on the hydrology of the tundra
