Permafrost Models

Permafrost models are scientific tools that simulate the behavior of permanently frozen ground over time. They analyze how temperature, climate change, and environmental factors influence the stability and thawing of permafrost regions. These models help predict potential impacts, such as releasing stored greenhouse gases like methane, which can accelerate climate change. By understanding how permafrost responds to different scenarios, scientists can better anticipate future changes in ecosystems, infrastructure, and global climate patterns.
