New research shows that soil temperatures across Alaska are rising quickly and at considerable depths, with the fastest and most severe warming occurring in high-latitude continuous permafrost regions. The findings point to accelerating permafrost thaw, a process scientists warn can release stored carbon and destabilise northern infrastructure, making the study notable for climate science and Arctic communities alike.

Why now: Deep soil warming in Alaska signals accelerating permafrost thaw with major climate implications.
