Active Layer Thickness and Permafrost Area Projections for the 21st Century
Abstract Permafrost warming leads to greenhouse gas release to the atmosphere, resulting in a positive feedback to climate change. Earth system models indicate that more than 80% of the near‐surface permafrost is projected to disappear by the end of this century, but with a high degree of uncertaint...
