A new study presents the first comprehensive assessment of economic activity on permafrost, estimating the Gross Regional Product (GRP) across Arctic regions.

The land and water masses of the Arctic store considerable amounts of carbon. However, climatic changes are increasingly affecting that carbon, with potential consequences for ecosystems and the global climate.

Permafrost thaw causes differently perceived risks with varying impacts across the Arctic. Relevant physical processes, five key hazards and societal consequences were identified using a comparative, transdisciplinary analysis.

“The Tale of Sleeping DOM” is a children's book that offers a unique way to explore the polar environment, the Inuvialuktun language and traditional elements. 

Close collaboration and co-production have been central to the methodological approach employed in our multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder driven permafrost project. 

The Arctic Permafrost Atlas serves as a critical and urgent call to action, emphasizing the immediate need to address the profound consequences of climate change.

The “Permafrost Days 2023” gathered together scientists with local stakeholders in NWT, Canada to discuss the relevance and applicability of scientific results in communities.

Longyearbyen, Svalbard, has become a showcase of Arctic climate change. However, we know little about how these changes are dealt with locally. This article examines climate change impacts and adaptation in this non-Indigenous “community of experts”.

The ARCADE is the first aggregated database of pan-Arctic river catchments that also includes numerous small watersheds at a high resolution.

A modelling study suggests that Arctic shelf permafrost is a globally important long-term carbon sink storing double the amount stored in lowland permafrost.

While over 99% of coastal arctic rivers drain small catchments, future projections of land-ocean fluxes are based on data from large rivers. New study encourages inclusion of smaller catchments to support assessments of arctic ecosystem change.

Nunataryuk final General Assembly starts today at the beatufiful Verbania on the shore of Lago Maggiore close to Milan Italy.

On Tuesday 21 March Nunataryuk will present the latest on permafrost research in an EU PolarNet 2 webinar.

It is quite a while since we returned from our expedition, but every morning after waking up I still hope for a brief moment to be back there.

Grid Arendal is looking for a talented young artist that has first-hand experience from living on Arctic permafrost to contribute a set of 9 artistic illustrations to the portraits that will be featured in the upcoming Arctic Permafrost Atlas.
