Alaska permafrost soil found warming fastest
Original: In Alaska, soil in permafrost regions is warming the fastest
New research reports that soil in Alaska's permafrost regions is warming faster than other areas, raising concerns about accelerating thaw. Scientists warn that rapid warming of frozen ground could release stored carbon and destabilize infrastructure across the Arctic. The findings add to evidence that Alaska is among the fastest-warming parts of the United States, drawing attention from climate researchers and policymakers.
Why now: New scientific findings on rapidly warming permafrost highlight accelerating Arctic climate change and its global implications.
