- Global warming is melting the permafrost layer, creating big holes in . . .
Abrupt melting of the permafrost layer is leading to erosion, landslides and craters in the Arctic landscape As the permafrost melts, greenhouse gases are released into the environment Current climate change forecasts may underestimate the emissions from permafrost because they only take into account gradual thawing of the ice layer
- Permafrost | NASA Earthdata
Permafrost is a layer of ground that remains frozen all year round It often sits beneath a layer of soil that thaws seasonally Due to rising temperatures, some areas of permafrost are thawing for the first time in years, which releases gases and organic carbon that have profound effects on the surrounding ecosystem
- Melting Russian permafrost could speed up global warming and have a . . .
“Permafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change,” scientist Dr Boris K Biskaborn of the Alfred Wegener Institute, a polar and marine research organization, writes in an article published in the journal Nature “When frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon ”
- Landslides Impacts, Permafrost Detection, and Geothermal Mineral . . .
Science Objectives Permafrost, or the sub-surface ground that stays below freezing for more than two years, accounts for 1 4th of the land surface of the Earth, according to Batbaatar and others (2020) in their paper "Toward the detection of permafrost using land-surface temperature mapping" published in Remote Sensing
- Siberian heatwaves are melting permafrost and have led to oil spills . . .
The melting permafrost led to what environmentalists say is the worst oil spill of its kind in the Russian Arctic In May, diesel oil started to leak from a storage tank near Norilsk because melting permafrost weakened its supports
- ABoVE: Permafrost Measurements and Distribution Across the . . . - Earthdata
The region is extremely flat and vulnerable to eustatic sea-level rise and inland storm surges These high-resolution permafrost maps support landscape change analyses and assessments of the impacts of climate change on permafrost in this region of high biological productivity, critical wildlife habitats, and subsistence-based human economy
- Mapping Permafrost in the Alaskan Yukon River Basin
The quantitative modeling approach used in this study was found to be successful in generating a regional near-surface permafrost map The distribution of areas estimated to be present or absent of near-surface permafrost contained approximately 46% and 45% of the Alaskan Yukon River Basin
- Riding the Permafrost Express | NASA Earthdata
Permafrost regions occupy about 20 to 25 percent of the world's land surface, and in parts of northern Siberia, permafrost can be up to a mile (1,600 meters) thick Scientists and engineers charged with monitoring permafrost along the Qinghai-Xizang railroad's route are primarily concerned with the layer that lies directly above permafrost, known as the active layer, which freezes and thaws
