As part of the Global Carbon Project, we have now published the first full greenhouse gas budget tallying sources and sinks ...

As global temperatures rise, the permafrost is beginning to thaw, releasing stored carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) into the atmosphere. Methane, in particular, is a potent greenhouse gas ...

All permafrost thaw leads to greenhouse gas emissions. But standing water accelerates the threat. The gas that bubbles from the oxygen-deprived mud under ponds and lakes is not only carbon dioxide ...

"Methane is a gas that is formed sedimentary sequences of the world ocean. For hundreds of years, it could not enter water or atmosphere because permafrost covered enormous deposits of gas like a lid.

Permafrost melting in Kashmir Himalaya poses environmental threats, affecting roads, households, lakes, and hydropower ...

[1] As permafrost thaws, it releases the powerful greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere, which contributes to further warming in a reinforcing feedback loop. Permafrost plays an essential role in ...
