Alaska permafrost soils found to be warming fastest
Original: In Alaska, soil in permafrost regions is warming the fastest
New research from Washington State University shows that soils in Alaska's permafrost regions are warming faster than soils elsewhere, a finding reported by both WSU Insider and Phys.org. As frozen ground thaws, stored organic carbon can be released, with implications for Arctic ecosystems and global climate projections.
Why now: Concerns about accelerating Arctic permafrost thaw and its feedback effects on climate change.
