Students will be able to describe the landscape development of permafrost regions and develop scenarios of how permafrost has changed in [...] understand how permafrost regions change in a rapdily warming Arctic and what the local to global feedbacks are. Learn about Arctic Climate Change, Cryosphere, and Permafrost; Permafrost landscapes, di [...] 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

In recent [...] accumulated in the Arctic. For a long time, permafrost was assumed to be a perfect storage for these potentially hazardous wastes. Nowadays, the permafrost thaws Arctic-wide and increases the risk of [...] that characterize intact permafrost ecosystems. to understand the resilience of ecosystems to pollutants (self-healing ability) to assess pollutant mobilization caused by permafrost thaw to develop strategies

human activity in the Arctic takes place along permafrost coasts. These coasts have become one of the most dynamic ecosystems on Earth because permafrost thaw is now exposing them to rapid change: change [...] fates of organic matter released from thawing coastal and subsea permafrost; (2) assess what risks are posed by thawing coastal permafrost, to infrastructure, indigenous and local communities and people’s [...] system. NUNATARYUK is a H2020 project that investigates the impacts of thawing coastal and subsea permafrost on the global climate, and develops targeted and co-designed adaptation and mitigation strategies

The project seeks to answer pressing questions about the role of permafrost thaw in the global climate system, and [...] the people living in these regions. The culmination of this ambitious endeavour is the "Arctic Permafrost Atlas," a ground-breaking publication set to launch during the Arctic Circle Assembly on October

glaciers and sea ice, can be observed directly, most of the permafrost’s melting takes place deep below the surface. However, since the permafrost stores huge quantities of carbon, which is released in the [...] thawing will further worsen global warming. In order to collect reliable, up-to-date information on permafrost thawing, the joint project UndercoverEisAgenten was launched today.

At the Samoylov site in the Lena River Delta, Siberia, the mean permafrost temperature was −8 °C, with a zero-amplitude depth [...] layer, temperature down to 26 m in the permafrost. Since the data provide observations of temporally variable parameters that mitigate energy fluxes between permafrost and atmosphere, they are suitable for [...] for use in integrating, calibrating and testing permafrost as a component in earth system models.
