<p>In partnership with the Permafrost Carbon Network, this workshop will increase collaboration across research disciplines and geographies that have not had other venues to connect on this issue, to ...

Abstract. Measurements of surface-atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes have been relatively sparse across the Arctic tundra and boreal biomes, causing significant uncertainties in ...

The Antarctic coastal zone is not simply the edge of the continent. It is a tightly coupled system where&nbsp;the ice from the ice sheet extends over the seabed, initially resting on it and further ou...

The abrupt disappearance of a lake is one clear sign that the ice below is melting, and a clue to wider permafrost changes.

Permafrost holds an extraordinary molecular record of ancient life — and we are only now learning to read it, just as warming begins to erase it.

Explore the fully funded PhD opportunity in Earth Observation and Remote Sensing at ETH Zurich. Work on cutting-edge Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) research to monitor Arctic permafrost changes using advanced satellite technologies.

Scientific Reports - Rapid increase in West Siberia’s retrogressive thaw slumps since 1964 associated with Arctic winter warming

This study estimates that Arctic deltas contain vast amounts of soil organic carbon (57.7 Pg) and soil nitrogen (3.8 Pg). This highlights the importance of these vulnerable permafrost landscapes at th...

Many rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean north of the Arctic Circle—including the Lena in Siberia and the Mackenzie River in Canada. The deltas of these large and small rivers store large amounts of car...

Bergdörfer, die verschüttet werden. Flüsse, die rosten. Tsunamis im Himalaja und in den Alpen. Und vielleicht schlummert im Boden das nächste Penicillin.

Thermokarst lakes are numerous and dynamic and play a significant role in the Arctic hydrology and climate. Until now, however, there has been no way to represent these typical Arctic bodies of water ...

Abstract. Thermokarst lakes are among the most common and dynamic landscape features in ice-rich lowland permafrost regions. They influence carbon, water and energy fluxes between atmosphere and land ...

Thawing permafrost emissions could accelerate climate change as Arctic soils become 25x to 100x more permeable, releasing much more gas.

New year, new team! We have some changes in our editorial team and would like to introduce our new chief editors to you today – please say hi to Mack and Leah! Mack and Leah will be taking over the ro...

Are you enthusiastic about climate research in the Arctic and keen to find out how the rapidly changing permafrost landscapes have developed since the last ice age and how they will respond to ongoing...

This year's Arctic Report Card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration finds that the northernmost part of the Earth is warming faster than the global average, leading to melting glac...

The 20th anniversary of the annual report tracks how sea ice, snow cover and many other vital signs of the Arctic have changed, and the impact that’s having on people and wildlife.

Storms that battered Alaska’s western coast this fall have brought renewed attention to low-lying Indigenous villages left increasingly vulnerable by climate change.

Abstract. Permafrost thaw disrupts ecosystems, hydrology, and biogeochemical cycles, reinforcing climate change through a positive permafrost-carbon feedback loop. Thaw can be gradual, deepening the a...

In Alaska verschwindet binnen Stunden ein See. Der Grund: tauender Permafrost. Forscher wollen nun wissen, wann das System kippen könnte und ganze Landschaften verändern.

‘As the storm approached Alaska, everything went sideways,’ leaving people no time to evacuate and little time to prepare. An Alaska meteorologist explains what happened and the challenges ahead.

Bering Land Bridge (BLB) climate and vegetation during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains largely understudied, given challenges associated with collecting records from the submerged BLB. Previ...
