Scientists have found evidence that the Asian continent was free of permafrost all the way to its northerly coast with the ...

Cave data shows the Arctic was permafrost-free when Earth was 4.5˚C warmer, hinting at what rising temperatures could bring.

The Arctic permafrost thaw is hazardous to the livelihood, safety, health, food security, and the infrastructure of communities living in Arctic regions, an international group of scientists have ...

The effort was part of a global assessment of all regions and oceans.. Carbon on the move. We found permafrost was a small to medium CO₂ sink, storing between 29 million and 500 million tons of ...

College of Life Sciences: BYU students research earth's climate for permafrost preservation A team of BYU students are working together to research the Earth's permafrost regions and establish ...

Wildfires in permafrost regions not only threaten local ecosystems, but also have far-reaching effects on global carbon cycles. Carbon-rich soils in these regions store vast amounts of organic ...

Wildfires in permafrost regions are a growing concern. The study’s data covered up to 2020, just before two major wildfire events—in Siberia in 2021 and Canada in 2023—that released ...

Earth's Northern Permafrost Region Has Climate Experts Worried. Here's Why The study found that between 2000 and 2020, the region took up a fraction more carbon dioxide than it released.

Permafrost temperatures in Europe's mountain regions are rising steadily, in some cases by more than 1°C over the last decade. The results of a new study show larger and faster changes than before.

But scientists believe that in the next 10 to 15 years, if climate change stays on its current trajectory, the permafrost regions will become net emitters of greenhouse gases, he said.
