Permafrost

2021
Permafrost is permanently frozen ground that remains continuously below 0 °C for two or more years. The upper level of permafrost, the permafrost table, can occur within a centimeter of the ground surface or at a depth of several meters. The active layer, which thaws each summer, overlies permafrost. Permafrost underlies about a quarter of the northern

The Permafrost Prediction

Scientific American, 2020
The article focuses on research into how great an impact thawing permafrost in arctic regions may have on climate change. It states nearly 1,450 bill ion metric tons of organic carbon is be found in the Northern Hemisphere permafrost region and mentions as permafrost thaws, frozen soil microbes reactivate and start decomposing animal and plant remains ...

Thawing Permafrost

2020
This book provides a cross-disciplinary overview of permafrost and the carbon cycle by providing an introduction into the geographical distribution of permafrost, with a focus on the distribution of permafrost and its soil carbon reservoirs. The chapters explain the basic physical properties and processes of permafrost soils: ice, mineral and organic ...

Permafrost grown: The heterogeneity of permafrost conditions

Open Access Government
Permafrost grown: The heterogeneity of permafrost conditions Melissa Ward Jones, from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, explains the heterogeneity of permafrost conditions and how it can impact agriculture. One farmer describes clearing land and letting it thaw before cultivation to increase the soil’s temperature; another describes ...

Permafrost

1991
Abstract The long, cold winters and short, cool summers in the polar regions result in the formation of a layer of frozen ground that does not completely thaw during the year. This perennially frozen ground, known as permafrost, affects many human activities in the Arctic, as well as in the Subarctic and at high altitudes, and causes ...
