A relatively small amount of groundwater trickling through Alaska's tundra is releasing huge quantities of carbon into the ocean, where it can contribute to climate change, according to new ...

According to this, the thawing of the permafrost would lower the water table and allow water to drain away more easily, causing the soil to dry out in the long term. MPI-M researcher Philipp de Vrese ...

Christina Shintani / Woodwell Climate Research Center Permafrost is soil, rock, or sediment that remains frozen for two or more consecutive years. It is found in high-latitude regions, such as the ...

A significant number of these climate-stressed areas are characterized by permafrost — soil that remains frozen throughout the year. These regions have experienced dramatic warming and drying trends ...

"In Sweden, permafrost lands are important as soil carbon reservoirs and for traditional land use practices, such as reindeer herding. Like in other regions of the Arctic, permafrost thaw is ...

A transdisciplinary, comparative analysis reveals key risks from Arctic permafrost thaw. Communications Earth & Environment , 2025; 6 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s43247-024-01883-w Cite This Page : ...

Researchers are now attempting to integrate new strategies to monitor permafrost and prevent its further melting. Researchers with the European Space Agency’s Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project ...

30 years of soil temperature, air temperature, wind speed, and infrared radiation data collected by the 10 LTER stations. “We were blown away to find that not only were winters getting warmer — the ...

By analyzing stable carbon isotopes in the soil core emissions, researchers found the intensified decay in longer rotations wasn't just using up the additional carbon inputs. All samples gave off ...
