J. Nitzbon, S. Westermann, et al.

Recent research conducted by Jan Nitzbon and colleagues reveals alarming projections for permafrost in northeast Siberia, indicating significant degradation due to warming, especially under severe climate scenarios. This study underscores the crucial need for refined Earth system models to understand global permafrost carbon dynamics and the urgent importance of climate change mitigation.
