Alaska soils warming significantly in permafrost and non-permafrost regions
Original: Significant Soil Warming Across Alaska Permafrost And Non-Permafrost Regions From 1997 To 2023 -- https:// doi.org/10.33
A new study finds significant soil warming across Alaska between 1997 and 2023, affecting both permafrost and non-permafrost regions, with permafrost areas warming fastest. The findings, reported in Frontiers in Climate and covered by Phys.org, add to concerns about thawing permafrost releasing stored carbon and accelerating climate change.
Why now: New research documenting rapid soil warming in Alaska raises fresh concerns about permafrost thaw and climate feedbacks.
