Wednesday afternoon we visited Miriam’s old Kenai-permafrost research site. After a 45 minute drive to the interior of the peninsula, we arrived at a small permafrost peat plateau covered by black spruce and [...] protected permafrost originates from the younger Dryas and was protected by the peat layer. The peat formed, froze and expanded and therefore rose above the wetland level forming these permafrost remnants [...] remnants above the wetlands. Meanwhile, this site is heavily affected by thawing permafrost, too and undergoes rapid degradation. Corona safe group photograph with Miriam on the left side Matthias and Miriam
