This project investigates the thawing of permafrost in the Arctic, focusing on the release of stored carbon into the atmosphere. It combines remote sensing, field studies, and modeling to assess the size and vulnerability of carbon pools in permafrost, aiming to understand the implications of climate change on these ec…
In a warming Arctic, frozen soil organic carbon (SOC) stored in permafrost will increasingly become vulnerable to thaw and mobilization.
Over millennia, permafrost soils accumulated about 1672 Petagram of SOC, about twice the carbon currently in the atmosphere.
Rapid permafrost thaw (thermokarst) releases fossil SOC as greenhouse gases, constituting a positive feedback to global warming.
However, complex landscape, hydrological, and ecological feedbacks necessitate quantification of landscape sc…
