Critical ecosystem stability thresholds are already being crossed in permafrost regions today. These growing impacts will worsen and grow more widespread with every increment of warming above 1.5°C. Key topics include the state of monitoring, measuring, and accounting for carbon dioxide and methane emissions from permafrost thaw and our current climate trajectory.
Speakers included Dr. Jennifer D. Watts, Arctic Program Director at Woodwell Climate Research Center; Dr. Elchin Jafarov, Senior Research Scientist for Permafrost Pathways and Woodwell; Fabian Seemann, PhD student at AWI; Dr. Gustaf Hugelius, Stockholm University and Vice Director of the Bolin Centre of Climate Research.
