New study on submarine permafrost suggests locked greenhouse gases are emerging. Something lurks beneath the Arctic Ocean. While it’s not a monster, it has largely…
New Mitigation Strategy Bears Great Potential Permafrost soils in the Arctic are thawing. As they do, large additional quantities of greenhouse gases could be released,…
Permafrost plays an important role in the global climate and is also one of the components of the Earth system that is most sensitive to…
Permafrost in the soil and methane hydrates deep in the ocean are large reservoirs of ancient carbon. As soil and ocean temperatures rise, the reservoirs…
Arctic regions have captured and stored carbon for tens of thousands of years, but a new study shows winter carbon emissions from the Arctic may…
A NASA-funded study suggests winter carbon emissions in the Arctic may be adding more carbon into the atmosphere each year than is taken up by…
Permafrost in the coldest northern Arctic — formerly thought to be at least temporarily shielded from global warming by its extreme environment — will thaw…
As ice the melts, the organic carbon found in permafrost is being released once again after ages of confinement in the soil. It is making…
June Arctic snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere dropped by almost 18% per decade over the last 30 years. This drop in snow cover will…
