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 ...

Permafrost-carbon complexities
Nature Geoscience, 2013The thawing and decomposition of carbon stored in permafrost generates greenhouse gases that could further intensify global warming. Currently, most of the thawed carbon is assumed to be converted to greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, and carbon decomposition is thought to only occur at the site of the thaw.

Permafrost in Transition [PDF]
, 2020 Climate change results in physical changes in permafrost soils: active layer thickness, temperature, soil hydrology and abrupt thaw features in ice-rich soils. Abrupt thaw features create new landforms such as ponds, lakes and erosion phenomena. In this chapter, current observations of physical changes in permafrost soils are discussed, including their

, 2008 Significant numbers of viable ancient microorganisms are known to be present within the permafrost. They have been isolated in both polar regions from the cores up to 400 m deep and ground temperatures of -27 C. The age of the cells corresponds to the longevity of the permanently frozen state of the soils, with the oldest cells dating back to {approx}3

The microbial ecology of permafrost
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2014Permafrost constitutes a major portion of the terrestrial cryosphere of the Earth and is a unique ecological niche for cold-adapted microorganisms. There is a relatively high microbial diversity in permafrost, although there is some variation in community composition across different permafrost features and between sites.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 1993
AbstractData from Yakutia, Siberia, indicate that permafrost has been generally stable for the last 300,000 years. Historic records indicate climatic variability in the last 150 years and predict that, in comparison with the 1980s, winters will be colder and summers warmer in the early part of the twenty‐first century.

Journal of Cold Regions Engineering, 1987 Piles have been installed in permafrost in the northern hemisphere for various engineering purposes. To date, there is a large amount of published information on piles in permafrost which has led to accepted design practices. However, there are no standards for designing or testing piles.
