Climate change amplified by permafrost cloud feedback
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology shed light on what may happen if the frozen soils thaw in response to global heating.…
From the Arctic to the tropics: permafrost soils and methane
A new study led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Hamburg, shows…
Permafrost hydrology plays an important role in global climate simulations, new study shows
Earth system models exhibit large inter-model differences in the simulated climate of the Arctic and subarctic zone, with varying sea ice…
Delayed response of subsea permafrost thaw to anthropogenic warming
Subsea permafrost is a previously overlooked component of the climate system. In a study published in The Cryosphere, the authors Stiig Wilkenskjeld…
Response of high-latitude ecosystems to temperature overshoot scenarios
High-latitude soils contain almost twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, and the fate of this frozen organic matter under ongoing climate change is…
