Arctic permafrost, the largest non-seasonal component of Earth's cryosphere, contains a
substantial climate-sensitive carbon pool. The existence of a global tipping point, a warming …

To date, there has been limited knowledge about how soil carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions
from forest ecosystems at a global scale respond to the altered precipitation, and the key …

The CryoGrid community model is a flexible toolbox for simulating the ground thermal
regime and the ice–water balance for permafrost and glaciers, extending a well-established …

Boreal forests are particularly vulnerable to climate warming, which increases the
occurrence of natural disturbances, such as fires and insect outbreaks. It is therefore …

Due to an imbalance between incoming and outgoing radiation at the top of the atmosphere,
excess heat has accumulated in Earth's climate system in recent decades, driving global …

Permafrost temperatures are increasing globally with the potential of adverse environmental
and socio-economic impacts. Nonetheless, the attribution of observed permafrost warming …

The risk of carbon emissions from permafrost is linked to an increase in ground temperature
and thus in particular to thermal insulation by vegetation, soil layers and snow cover. Ground …

Only a few palaeo-records extend beyond the Holocene in Yakutia, eastern Siberia, since
most of the lakes in the region are of Holocene thermokarst origin. Thus, we have a poor …

The ground ice content in cold environments influences the permafrost thermal regime and
the thaw trajectories in a warming climate, especially for soils containing excess ice. Despite …

Permafrost thawing as a result of climate change has major consequences locally and
globally, both for the biosphere and for human activities. The quantification of its extent and …
