Students will be able to describe the landscape development of permafrost regions and develop scenarios of how permafrost has changed in [...] how permafrost regions change in a rapidly warming Arctic and what the local to global feedbacks are. The students will learn about Arctic climate change, the cryosphere, and permafrost; Permafrost landscapes [...] into the formation, structure and change of permafrost landscapes. Basic knowledge of the material and substance turnover during thawing and freezing of permafrost soils is provided. The relationship between

    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.

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
