What is it about?

Our study aims to estimate the range of potential carbon fluxes from thawing permafrost by accounting for some abrupt thaw processes which can accelerate the degradation of frozen ground beyond what is inferred by standard modelling approaches that consider gradual thaw.

Why is it important?

Our modelling approach is the first to globally quantify the permafrost carbon feedback for the coming centuries while considering carbon release from deep deposits and accounting for abrupt thaw processes.
