Abrupt increase in Arctic-Subarctic wildfires caused by future permafrost thaw
I. Kim, A. Timmermann, et al.
Discover how climate change is leading to a rapid thaw of Arctic-Subarctic permafrost, which may trigger intensified wildfires by the late 21st century. This groundbreaking research by In-Won Kim, Axel Timmermann, Ji-Eun Kim, Keith B. Rodgers, Sun-Seon Lee, Hanna Lee, and William R. Wieder reveals shocking insights into the consequences of permafrost thaw on future wildfires in western Siberia and Canada.
