💡 The study reveals how federal and state systems often fail to recognize the urgency of gradual, compounding environmental threats, and how this failure leaves Tribal communities to bear the disproportionate impacts from climate change.

🦌 For many Indigenous reindeer herding communities, the loss and fragmentation of pastures not only threaten their economic livelihoods but also their cultural heritage and traditional knowledge passed down through generations.

❄️ Across the Arctic, nomadic reindeer herders find themselves on the frontlines of a rapidly changing world. Their traditional way of life, deeply intertwined with the seasonal migrations of their reindeer herds, faces significant threats from changing land use and the impacts of climate change.

Christina Schädel @schaedelc.bsky.social shared work on updating models to include permafrost emissions. Preliminary results show just how important getting permafrost into the picture is for global carbon budgets. This budget 'blindspot' will grow the longer it takes us to bend the emissions curve.

We co-hosted a workshop with the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme to identify opportunities and steps toward a pan-Arctic coupled monitoring hub. Such a unified 'network of networks' would help to generate current, policy-relevant insights into fluxes and ecosystem change across the Arctic

📈Winter carbon emissions from a carbon monitoring tower near Council, Alaska offset the C sink in growing season, and even exceeded summer uptake in some recent years.
