Permafrost Monitoring Network

A Permafrost Monitoring Network is a system of tools and stations that keep track of the temperature and condition of permanently frozen ground called permafrost. By continuously collecting data on temperature changes, moisture levels, and thawing patterns, this network helps scientists understand how permafrost is responding to climate change. Monitoring these changes is important because thawing permafrost can release greenhouse gases and affect ecosystems, infrastructure, and communities in cold regions. Overall, it provides critical insights for managing environmental and societal impacts related to permafrost itself.
