Reposted by Manuel HelbigDavid Olefeldt @olefeldt.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Wildfire causes accelerated permafrost thaw in northern peatlands due to summer-time processes (reduced shading and soil heating) not due to winter-time processes (snow dynamics). Patience pays off - I helped instrument the site in 2014, and now completed by Stephanie Wright! doi.org/10.1002/ppp.... 0143

In most datasets, 2024 will be 0.1 degree C warmer than 2023. Also, 2024 will be the 1st individual year above the 1.5 degree Paris warming threshold in all datasets. (1/10) 6419187
