Phys.org  September 24, 2024 Climate change will accelerate Arctic-Subarctic permafrost thaw which can intensify microbial degradation of carbon-rich soils, methane emissions, and global warming. To better understand the impact of permafrost thaw on future Arctic-Subarctic wildfires and the associated release of greenhouse gases and aerosols an international team of researchers (South Korea, Japan, Norway, USA – National Center for Atmospheric Research, University of Colorado) presented a comprehensive analysis of the effect of future permafrost thaw on land surface processes in the Arctic-Subarctic region using large ensemble forced by the SSP3-7.0 greenhouse gas emission scenario. Analyzing 50 greenhouse warming simulations, which […]
