The Arctic is warming at a rate twice that of other global ecosystems and changing climate conditions in the Arctic are mobilizing long frozen permafrost stores of organic carbon. In regions of extensive ground ice, thawing permafrost can cause land subsidence, and the creation of thermokarst featur...
