Permafrost Modelling Profile Why do we need Permafrost Models? Permafrost models are important tools to investigate the role and the sensitivity of frozen ground under very complex environmental and climatic [...] Since permafrost is usually not visible at the earth’s surface and only few measurement sites exist, models are also important to investigate the current state of permafrost. Furthermore, permafrost models [...] the elements that we are able to simulate with our permafrost-land surface model. (Graphic: Alfred-Wegener-Institut) What are Permafrost Models? Permafrost models provide information on ground temperatures

effects and causing the permafrost to thaw in step with climate change. As such, taking decisive action today is all the more important if our goal is to preserve as much permafrost as possible. The study [...] Permafrost soils store large quantities of organic carbon and are often portrayed as a critical tipping element in the Earth system, which, once global warming has reached a certain level, suddenly and

To assess the concern of a permafrost-climate feedback and to develop a better understanding of future permafrost-carbon dynamics, the Permafrost Biogeochemistry [...] drastic changes in Arctic permafrost landscapes, such as active layer deepening, thermal erosion and development of rapid thaw features. Organic matter stored frozen in permafrost deposits for thousands of [...] Characterizing the past, present and future changes of permafrost organic matter under warming climate and changing land use.
