Biologist comments on a startling new finding in climate change research
The steady march of global warming over the past century has led to the thawing of permafrost—a layer of subsurface soil in the Arctic that usually remains frozen year-round. While that's troubling for local ecosystems, ...

Old carbon reservoirs unlikely to cause massive greenhouse gas release
Permafrost in the soil and methane hydrates deep in the ocean are large reservoirs of ancient carbon. As soil and ocean temperatures rise, the reservoirs have the potential to break down, releasing enormous quantities of ...
