Among the most rapidly changing parts of our planet are the coldest landscapes near the top of the globe, just south of the ...

Global warming could be fueled further by that. “How these emissions develop,” Biasi notes, “depends above all on how warm it ...

Find how thawing permafrost releases greenhouse gases, amplifying global warming and impacting climate change.

Ecologist Christina Biasi is exploring the conditions under which tiny organisms contribute to permafrost soils emitting ...

Among the greenhouse gases released, methane is particularly notable. It is more effective at trapping heat than carbon ...
