PERMAFROST project

The PERMAFROST project is a scientific initiative aimed at understanding and monitoring permafrost, which is permanently frozen ground found in polar regions. As global temperatures rise, permafrost is thawing, releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. This process can accelerate climate change. The project involves researchers studying the effects of thawing permafrost on ecosystems, the carbon cycle, and local communities. By gathering data and sharing findings, the PERMAFROST project seeks to inform climate policies and improve our understanding of how thawing permafrost impacts the planet.
