Permafrost

Experts say warmer temperatures across the Alps are accelerating glacier melt and thawing permafrost, the year-round ice that binds together giant slabs of rock.

Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

The study found that between 2000 and 2020, the region took up a fraction more carbon dioxide than it released.

Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...

In Siberia, a massive crater emerged explosively in the tundra, sending ice and rock hundreds of feet away and creating a large circular scar. This event marked the 17th crater discovered in the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas since 2013, attracting significant scientific interest. The craters are believed to be linked to climate change, with modern tool...

The scientists stated that the melting Arctic permafrost could release the 'zombie viruses' and trigger a catastrophic global health emergency

The researchers stressed that the occurrence of gas accumulations was more widespread than anticipated.

Five years ago, scientists found two roundworm species in the Siberian permafrost.

Stunning drone footage has revealed details of the Batagaika crater, a one kilometre long gash in Russia's Far East that forms the world's biggest permafrost crater.

French scientists have reportedly revived a 48,500-year-old "zombie virus" buried under a frozen lake in Russia. According to New York Post, these scientists have sparked fears of yet another pandemic

As the global temperature is rising, a number of glaciers and permafrost are melting, releasing microbes trapped in the icy grip for centuries. Among them is a roughly 50,000-year-old 'zombie virus', which has been revived.

The thawing of ancient permafrost due to climate change may pose a new threat to humans, according to researchers who revived nearly two dozen viruses - including one frozen under a lake more than 48,500 years ago.

Himalayan Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is threatening rapid fall down due to permafrost melting brought by global warming, as per a research published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.

The old airport in the Siberian settlement of Churapcha has been unusable for years, its runway transformed into a swampy field of puffed-up mounds and reliefs.

A microscopic organism has wriggled back to life and reproduced asexually after lying frozen in the vast permafrost lands of northeastern Siberia for 24,000 years.
