Jan. 28, 2022 — Thawing permafrost in the Arctic could be emitting greenhouse gases from previously unaccounted-for carbon stocks, fuelling global warming. In the Siberian Arctic, the research ...

New research shows soil microorganisms could produce additional greenhouse gas emissions from thawing permafrost. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 ...

Permafrost thaw will mean an increase in greenhouse gas emissions over the next century, potentially as much as another large industrial nation. We take a look at its impact on emissions, but also ...

We wanted to find out how much carbon and nitrogen is being released from the northern permafrost. Here’s the region’s first full greenhouse gas budget covering CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide.

Greenhouse gas release from permafrost is influenced by mineral binding processes. University of Cologne. Journal Nature Communications DOI 10.1038/s41467-023-37766-5 ...

Permafrost is generally a barrier to the movement and escape of gases, but underground faults and fractures can lead to surface gas anomalies with higher concentrations than deeper ones.

Some geographical features of the permafrost in Svalbard could allow gas to escape as well. Studying how the methane moves below this thick slab of ice, however, can prove difficult.

"Methane is a potent greenhouse gas," said Dr. Thomas Birchall of the University Center in Svalbard, ... but factors such as glacial retreat and permafrost thawing may 'lift the lid' on this in ...

Thawing permafrost in the Arctic could release radon, ... The most worrisome of these is methane, a potent greenhouse gas that, if released in large quantities, ...

According to a new study, the thawing of this permafrost could bring with it a significant health hazard to those living in sub-Arctic communities: increased exposure to the cancer-causing gas, radon.
