Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists set out to address one of the biggest uncertainties about how carbon-rich permafrost will respond to gradual sinking of the land surface as temperatures rise.
This article was originally featured on High Country News. Chunks of carbon-rich frozen soil, or permafrost, undergird much of the Arctic tundra. This perpetually frozen layer sequesters carbon from ...
A new international study involving researchers from the University of Gothenburg shows that vegetation in the Arctic is changing rapidly as species from nearby forests spread into the tundra. This ...
The Arctic is rapidly changing from the climate crisis, with no "new normal," scientists warn. Wildfires and permafrost thaw are making the tundra emit more carbon than it absorbs. From beaver ...
Scientists are reintroducing large animals to Siberia's Pleistocene Park. This project aims to restore ancient grassland ...
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — While climate change is the primary driver of permafrost degradation in Arctic Alaska, a new analysis of 70 years of data reveals that tundra fires are accelerating that decline, ...
Aerial view of melting permafrost tundra and lakes near the Yupik Eskimo village of Quinhagak on the Yukon Delta in Alaska. The environmental effects of permafrost melting make one shudder. It would ...
Ancient “zombie viruses” frozen in melting Arctic permafrost could fuel a new pandemic if unleashed by climate change, scientists have warned. Global heating is enabling increased human activity in ...
What your gut has in common with Arctic permafrost, and why it’s a troubling sign for climate change
Every time you eat a blueberry, the microbiome in your gut gets to work. Bacterial enzymes attack the organic compounds of the fruit: a burbling, gurgling digestive process that can, often to our ...
Chunks of carbon-rich frozen soil, or permafrost, undergird much of the Arctic tundra. This perpetually frozen layer sequesters carbon from the atmosphere, sometimes storing it for tens of thousands ...
Scientists set out to address one of the biggest uncertainties about how carbon-rich permafrost will respond to gradual sinking of the land surface as temperatures rise. Using a high-performance ...
While climate change is the primary driver of permafrost degradation in Arctic Alaska, a new analysis of 70 years of data reveals that tundra fires are accelerating that decline, contributing ...
