#Permafrost
Record-setting temperatures and rainfall in the Arctic over the past year sped up the melting of permafrost and washed toxic minerals into more than 200 rivers across northern Alaska, threatening vital salmon runs, according to a new report. nyti.ms/48Qr26R

[7/8] Les auteurs défendent une gestion active de la chaleur. Des fondations géothermiques peuvent capter la chaleur des bâtiments et la réutiliser en hiver, limitant les fuites thermiques vers le sol. L’enjeu est avant tout de préserver la stabilité des sols.

A young woolly mammoth died 40,000 years ago, its body preserved in the Siberian permafrost. Scientists were able to extract rare RNA from its skin and tissues.
Scientists Extract New Secrets of the Woolly Mammoth
Researchers analyzed ancient RNA from the extinct creatures. Could this be a “steppingstone” in the quest to bring them back?

Ocean warming, the melting of glaciers, and melting permafrost are increasing weather hazards and other dangers for Arctic communities. For example, warm ocean temperatures fueled ex-Typhoon Halong in October 2025, which forced over 1,500 people to evacuate from Alaska’s southwestern coast.

Climate change is the most deleterious threat humanity has

What is going to happen when the permafrost thaws & belches out so much methane it literally changes our atmosphere

Coupled with humanity exacerbating & accelerating climate change will prove a disasterous precipice to fall from

This episode of #Watson is about a pandemic thawing out of the permafrost and barely anybody is masking. Watson’s surgical mask isn’t fully unfolded. One of the patients took his mask off for his intake. I’m going to have a stroke.

i held back on mentioning it but i was thinking that cameos with other people in back of the mirror would be cool. think it contributes well to the energy i want with the series.

also here's cover art i hadn't shared have fun

2025 has been awful, but our six releases this year are evidence that books still surprise and delight, and are more necessary than ever. We’re so proud of these books and are thankful for the teams behind them. 2026 promises more great fiction and poetry, starting with She Who Remains. #booksky

Hydrology Paper of the Day @colddirt.bsky.social on changes in Antarctic permafrost: soil temperatures in the McMurdo Dry Valleys and the influence of katabatic winds explored over 30 years of record; the role of longwave radiation and hydroclimatic variables; and a spatial geography of temperatures
Don't look now, but while we've had our eyes on trying to figure out if #Antarctic #permafrost is facing thaw due to warming summers, it has been quietly becoming less hard-frozen during winter for the last 30 years. ⚒️🧪🥼❄️

Yes but no. Much of Russia's oil is from the arctic and piped across permafrost. Their costs are two or three times higher than Saudi oil production.

$30 to $35 per barrel costs and $10 corruption premiums mean that Russia is barely breaking even and often loses money on sales. Russia is crippled.

New method for determining how quickly #heat penetrates deep into #permafrost by #SLF researcher @s-weber.bsky.social: This helps detecting changes in #mountain regions at an early stage + makes it easier to assess instabilities and rockslides.

Mountain glaciers are melting. Permafrost is thawing. And worsening droughts are leading people to pump more groundwater for drinking water and irrigation. Continental drying contributes to water shortages and worsens sea level rise, because as water runs off it has to go somewhere.
A slow-motion water crisis is unfolding around the world » Yale Climate Connections
Many land areas are drying out as glaciers melt, soils lose moisture, and groundwater levels fall.

Earth’s frozen regions are sending a clear warning about climate change – but politicians are ignoring it
The warning lights from the cryosphere have been flashing red for several years and governments and policymakers ignore this at their peril.

I’m a paleoecologist, so I reconstruct past ecosystems using sediment records. Most of what I work with are microfossils like pollen that we extract from lake mud, peat, or permafrost, all of which contain silicates from sand, silt, and clay. We use HF to remove those silicates.

Permafrost is melting with emissions of carbon dioxide and methane on a par with Japan’s human emissions. Soon they will overtake India’s.

Permafrost emissions are on track to overtake India’s human emissions
Arctic Amplification, driving temperature increases up to 4x faster than the rest of the world, is melting Permafrost at alarming rates that will soon see it’s emissions eclipse even large countries.

Sure are. The climate in the polar regions is changing far faster than everywhere else.
The permafrost is thawing and this is releasing vast amounts of methane and that will give a shorter-term boost to the rate of heating.
It’s all a bloody mess and past the point of return.
