Research subject Permafrost-biogeochemistry-climate Interactions
The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the global average and already now shows rapid thaw of land and subsea permafrost, vegetation shifts, increased coastal erosion, sea ice decline and changes in ocean currents.
We study several of these systems, with an emphasis of carbon, nitrogen and methane remobilization, to understand and quantify likely positive feedbacks and cascading effects to climate warming.
