WSU Study Shows Alaska Soils Warming Quickly, With Temperatures Rising Fastest In Permafrost Region, Accelerates Climate Change
Soils are warming quickly and at considerable depth across Alaska, with temperatures rising fastest in the state’s permafrost region, a trend that could accelerate climate change and undermine the stability of roads, buildings and other infrastructure built on the continuously frozen ground. That’s a central finding of new research from Washington State University that provides…
