The map is based on the regional permafrost monitoring system, which the Arctic Research Center has been developing since 2018 MOSCOW, January 26. /TASS/. An interactive permafrost map containing data ...

Scientists found that thawing permafrost can trigger increased rock weathering, a natural process that absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. In some regions, this carbon uptake was strong enough to fully ...

The left panel shows the near-surface permafrost extent (bluish area, overlaid on satellite imagery) estimated by the most commonly used pan-arctic map product for a site in Alaska. The right panel ...
