Permafrost Model

A permafrost model is a scientific tool used to predict how permanently frozen ground behaves over time, especially as climate conditions change. It considers factors like temperature, soil composition, and moisture to simulate how permafrost thaws or thickens. This helps scientists understand potential impacts on ecosystems, infrastructure, and greenhouse gas release. By accurately modeling these processes, the permafrost model provides insights into future environmental changes in polar and cold regions, informing strategies for adaptation and mitigation in a warming world.
