Current Data AWI scientists carry out regular measurements. These are

deep permafrost soil carbon pools to rapid thaw and resulting impacts. The three research topics were: (1) Systematic measurement of rapid permafrost thaw, (2) Characterization of deep permafrost SOC stocks [...] PETA-CARB wordle (Graphic: Alfred Wegener Institut) What is Permafrost? Carbon in Permafrost Arctic landscapes, especially those underlain by permafrost, are threatened by climate warming and may degrade in [...] Wegener Institut) Arctic permafrost deposits are estimated to freeze-lock as much carbon in the atmosphere, allowing a potentially significant climate warming feedback loop when permafrost thaws and carbon is

Project "Permafrost Change" For most people, permafrost is a distant phenomenon that seems to have little to do with their own lives, making it hard for them to relate to. With the help of the resources [...] people have the chance to see, hear, touch and smell permafrost, thanks to original archaeological artefacts from the Ice Age and hands-on permafrost experimentation boxes. More over visitors can use a [...] virtual permafrost world. Lastly, ‘before-and-after’ lenticular images, together with video and audio recordings from expeditions to the Arctic, will help illustrate the thawing of the permafrost, and the
