Climate change reduces winter overland travel across the Pan-Arctic even under low-end global warming scenarios

Climate change reduces winter overland travel across the Pan-Arctic even under low-end global warming scenarios

Amplified climate warming has led to permafrost degradation and a shortening of the winter season, both impacting cost-effective overland travel across the Arctic. Here we use, for the first time, four state-of-the-art Land Surface Models that explicitly consider ground freezing states, forced by a...
