Future projection of greenhouse gas emissions due to permafrost degradation using a simple numerical scheme with a global land surface model

Abstract The Yedoma layer, a permafrost layer containing a massive amount of underground ice in the Arctic regions, is reported to be rapidly thawing. In this study, we develop the Permafrost Degradation and Greenhouse gasses Emission Model (PDGEM), which describes the thawing of the Arctic permafro...
