11.24 | Talk | 1 pm (GMT +4) | Cryosphere Pavilion Find out more Permafrost and well-being in the Arctic By Fabian Seemann, AWI permafrost researcher | 18.11.24 | Talk | 4pm (GMT+4) | Cryosphere Pavilion [...] Fossil CO2 emissions reach record high Find out more Interactive permafrost map On this map you can see how certain climate and permafrost characteristics have evolved since the year 1800. Find out more [...] each CH 4 molecule has 27 times the climate impact of a CO 2 molecule," says Lona van Delden, permafrost researcher at AWI. And more and more methane is emitted into the atmosphere. For example, from

Permafrost Coasts

Coastal Permafrost Profile About 34% of the world's coasts are affected by Arctic permafrost and are particularly sensitive to climate change. The frozen cliffs lose their cohesion, which is ensured by [...] ble to quantify the amount of eroded sediment and organic material more accurately. The group "Permafrost Coasts" investigates the velocity and character of sediment and organic matter transport into the [...] echosounder bathymetry: to quantify the content of particulate and dissolved organic material in permafrost sediments and their bottom ice and to characterize its spatial variability; to quantify the velocity
