Alpine permafrost could account for a quarter of thawed carbon based on Plio-Pleistocene paleoclimate analogue

F. Cheng, C. Garzione, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Feng Cheng and colleagues examines the vulnerability of alpine permafrost to thawing in a warmer-than-present climate. Utilizing a Plio-Pleistocene lacustrine reconstruction from the Tibetan Plateau, the team reveals that up to 60% of alpine permafrost may be at risk, releasing substantial carbon stores into the atmosphere. Their findings highlight the significant impact alpine regions could have on the permafrost-climate feedback mechanism.... show more
