Acerca de este libro electrónico
Permafrost Melting explores the escalating crisis of thawing permafrost in Arctic landscapes and its profound implications for global climate stability.
As temperatures rise, the permafrost thaw unleashes significant quantities of previously trapped organic carbon, almost doubling the amount currently in the atmosphere.
This process accelerates greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide and methane, creating a dangerous feedback loop that amplifies global warming.
The book connects environment, earth sciences, and geography to provide a comprehensive understanding of this planetary-scale event.

The book connects environment, earth sciences, and geography to provide a comprehensive understanding of this planetary-scale event.
The book investigates the biogeochemical processes driving greenhouse gas release, visible impacts like thermokarst formation and coastal erosion, and the resulting social and economic consequences for Arctic communities.
Drawing upon field observations, remote sensing data, and climate models, the book examines how permafrost thaw affects the carbon cycle.
It progresses from introducing permafrost composition and distribution to analyzing thaw dynamics and culminates with mitigation strategies and policy recommendations, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers.
