It is used in modelling permafrost-related processes in the Arctic. It has replaced our earlier research with CLM4.5 ( Matthes et

Putting permafrost in the classroom The Arctic’s permanently frozen soils are increasingly thawing – with far-reaching consequences for the climate and for people living in the region. Together with partner [...] schoolchildren from Aklavik, Canada are helping the Alfred Wegener Institute gather valuable data on permafrost. By doing so, they’re improving the joint understanding of the changes at work on their doorstep [...] has consequences for the day-to-day lives of the roughly five million people who live atop the permafrost. Entire sections of coastline are washed away by the sea, while elsewhere the ground collapses

in the region. In August 2016, the town Point Lay in Alaska lost its nearby lake. Due to thawing permafrost soils, the lake had steadily lost stability and ultimately drained entirely into the Kokolik River
